CSMT Platform 18 Closed for Redevelopment, Affecting Trains
CSMT's Platform 18 will be closed for 80 days starting October 1 for major construction work.
This means long-distance trains that usually use this platform will be moved to others.
Two express trains will end their journeys early.
In addition, there will be a mega block on Sunday for maintenance, causing some long-distance trains to be delayed or rerouted.
The Trans-Harbour Line will also have a block with suspended services.
CSMT Platform 18 will close for 80 days starting October 1 due to redevelopment.
The closure is part of the Rail Land Development Authority (RLDA) revamp project.
Long-distance trains will be reassigned to other platforms.
Two express trains (Amravati–CSMT Express and Nandigram Express) will be short-terminated.
A mega block will occur on the Main Line and Trans-Harbour Line on Sunday.
