Central Railway announces mega block on Sept 21 for maintenance work

Up fast and semi-fast trains departing Kalyan between 10.28 am and 3.40 pm will also run on the Up slow line until Thane, halting at Diva, Mumbra, and Kalva before rejoining the fast line at Mulund. Long-distance trains departing from or arriving at CSMT/Dadar will be diverted via the fifth and sixth lines between Thane and Kalyan/Vikhroli.

On the Harbour Line, Up and Down services between Panvel and Vashi (excluding the Port line) will remain suspended from 11.05 am to 4.05 pm. Services from Panvel to CSMT between 10.33 am and 3.49 pm, and from CSMT to Belapur/Panvel between 9.45 am and 3.12 pm, will be cancelled.

Similarly, on the Trans-Harbour Line, trains between Panvel and Thane will remain cancelled from 10.01 am to 3.53 pm. However, services will continue to operate between Thane and Vashi/Nerul, while Port line services will remain unaffected. Special services will also run on the CSMT–Vashi section during the block.

“These maintenance mega blocks are essential for infrastructure upkeep and safety. Passengers are requested to bear with the Railway Administration for the inconvenience caused,” said Dr. Swapnil Nila, Chief Public Relations Officer, Central Railway.
