The West Central Railway (WCR) will make changes to the operations of six trains due to non-interlocking work at Pune and Hadapsar yards. The work is being undertaken for commissioning of the third line on the Hadapsar-Pune rail section.
The changes will include short termination, short origination, route diversion and rescheduling of trains associated with West Central Railway. Four services will be partially cancelled on specific sections, while one train will operate via a diverted route and another will depart later than its scheduled time.
