Mumbai Local Trains Face Sunday Mega Blocks and Diversions
Central Railway is doing repair and maintenance work on some Mumbai train tracks.
This will change train services on Sunday, September 13, 2026.
Slow trains between Thane and Kalyan will use different tracks for part of the day.
These trains may be about 10 minutes late.
Trains between Thane and Vashi, Nerul and Panvel on the Trans-Harbour line will be cancelled during the block.
Trains on the Belapur-Uran line will run normally.
Western Railway trains will also follow their regular timetable.
Passengers should check the latest timetable before leaving.
The railway says the work is needed to maintain infrastructure and safety.

The Main Line block will affect Up and Down slow lines between Thane and Kalyan from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm.
Main Line services will be diverted between Mulund and Kalyan and may arrive about 10 minutes late.
Trans-Harbour services between Thane and Vashi, Nerul and Panvel will be suspended from 11:10 am to 4:10 pm.
