Passengers travelling towards Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) on select long-distance trains should check where their train will terminate from October 1. Central Railway has announced a 75-day traffic and power block at CSMT, following which eight UP-direction Mail/Express trains will terminate at Dadar or Thane instead of CSMT.

As per the official post shared by Central Railway’s official X handle, the block will be become applicable from October 1 to December 15, 2026, spanning Platforms 14 and 15 as well as Stabling Line 15.

Central Railways has urged passengers to “check the timetable and plan their journey accordingly.”

Why is Central Railway taking the 75-day block?

The block is being implemented as part of Phase 1 of the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus redevelopment project, as per the official Central Railway post.

During the block period, foundation work and other necessary works will be done on Platforms 14 and 15 and Stabling Line 15.
