Mumbai Train Services Hit by Karjat Fault, Borivali Trespassing
Two separate problems caused train delays in Mumbai on Saturday.
The Koyna Express had a brake problem near Karjat.
Railway staff fixed it, and the train moved again after 10 minutes.
Another problem happened when someone trespassed near a platform at Borivali.
Trains were slowed or held for safety.
This caused several trains to gather between Malad and Borivali.
Some delays continued later at Khar station.
Train services eventually returned to normal after the incidents were handled.
Koyna Express 11030 was detained at Karjat for 10 minutes because of a brake-binding issue.
The brake fault occurred in the second coach from the rear on the Up Main Line.
A trespassing incident near Platform No. 2 at Borivali temporarily disrupted Western Railway services.
Trains were regulated between 3:42 pm and 3:54 pm, causing bunching between Malad and Borivali.
The disruptions continued into the evening, delaying some services at Khar station.
