In a significant development, Western Railway has scheduled a Jumbo block on the DOWN Slow line between Marine Lines and Mahim stations for four hours, from 00.15 hrs to 04.15 hrs, during the intervening night of 30th November and 01st December 2024. The block is aimed at carrying out essential maintenance work on tracks, overhead equipment, and signalling systems.
Train Diverted to Down Fast Line During Block Period
As per a press release from Shri Vineet Abhishek, Chief Public Relations Officer of Western Railway, during the block period, all Down Slow line trains will be diverted to the Down Fast line between Churchgate and Mahim stations. Passengers should note that these trains will not stop at the following stations due to operational limitations: Mahalaxmi, Lower Parel, Prabhadevi, Matunga Road, and Mahim. This is because of the unavailability of platforms at Mahalaxmi, Prabhadevi, and Matunga Road, and the insufficient length of platforms at Lower Parel and Mahim stations.
No Daytime Block on 01st December
The Western Railway has assured that there will be no block during the daytime on Sunday, 01st December 2024, over the suburban section, ensuring smooth travel for passengers.
Passengers are advised to plan their travel accordingly and stay updated on any changes.
