Mumbai Railway: Night Jumbo Block Announced on October 25-26
Imagine the railway tracks are like roads, and sometimes they need repairs.
To fix them, the railway is having a 'Jumbo Block' on the night of October 25th-26th.
This means that some trains won't be able to run on their regular tracks during certain hours.
Instead, they will use the slower tracks.
This is so the railway workers can fix the tracks, signals, and the wires above the trains.
Some trains will also be cancelled.
The railway wants to make sure everything is working properly so everyone can travel safely.
A Jumbo Block is scheduled for the night of October 25th-26th.
The block will affect the railway lines between Vasai Road and Bhayandar.
Maintenance work includes tracks, signaling, and overhead equipment.
Fast line trains will run on slow lines during the block.
Some suburban trains will be cancelled.
