Mumbai: Mumbai commuters are expected to face major inconvenience this weekend as Central Railway and Western Railway undertake extensive infrastructure and maintenance work across key suburban corridors. The work is likely to impact both suburban and long-distance train operations, resulting in cancellations, diversions and short-termination of several services on nights of June 13 and June 14.
According to reports by the Free Press Journal, railway authorities have scheduled mega blocks on important sections including Matunga-Kurla, Diva and Bandra-Goregaon for ongoing bridge and track-related work.
Major Disruptions Expected On Key Railway Routes

Central And Western Railway Undertaking Infrastructure Work
The railway authorities stated that the maintenance work is necessary to improve operational efficiency and ensure passenger safety on Mumbai’s suburban railway system, one of the busiest commuter rail networks in the world.
The disruption is likely to impact late-night passengers on Friday as well as early-morning commuters on Saturday, especially those travelling from Kasara, Karjat, Ambarnath, Titwala, Kalyan, and Thane. Railway authorities have urged commuters to verify train schedules before leaving for their journey and arrange alternative transport options if required.
Central Railway will undertake a special block at Diva due to launching of girders for a new Foot over bridge on saturday night which is why local train services between thane and kalyan will remain suspended due to the block. Some trains will be allowed to run on fast tracks and may skip halts at Thakurli and Kopar, resulting in delays of up to 15 minutes.
