Western Railway cancels 7 trains during Valsad Electronic Interlocking block

Western Railway cancels 7 trains during Valsad Electronic Interlocking block

At a train station called Valsad, workers are going to do a big upgrade to the signals that safely tell trains where to go.

This upgrade is called 'Electronic Interlocking.'

While they are working, part of the track will be closed for a few days.

So the train company, Western Railway, is stopping some trains completely.

Other trains will start or end their trips at different stations instead.

This will happen from Friday morning, August 21, until Sunday afternoon, August 23, 2026.

In total, seven trains will not run at all during this time.

Many other trains will change their routes so passengers can still travel part of the way.

Western Railway is telling passengers to check their train status before going to the station, using the NTES system or by calling the 139 helpline.

That way, nobody will be surprised if their train is cancelled.
