Mumbai Local Train News: Heavy rains and overnight downpour continued to impact suburban train services in Mumbai, and long-distance trains, on Wednesday.
The Western Railway cancelled 17 early morning services due to waterlogging and multiple suburban trains across the Churchgate–Dahanu Road section were operating with an average delay of 20 to 25 minutes. While Central Railway services were restored on Tuesday night, several long-distance trains faced delays on account of the rain and waterlogging.
Western Railway has announced that Train No 10115 Bandra Terminus–Madgaon Express, will short-originate from Kaman Road and remain cancelled between Bandra Terminus and Kaman Road. Waterlogging was reported at Vasai Road station, leading to cautious movement of trains on the Up Fast line, where services were operated at restricted speed.

“In the morning we cancelled around 17 trains due to waterlogging issues. Since there is less demand in the morning, services were curtailed temporarily, but all trains are back in place now and running smoothly. As there is still some waterlogging, we have reduced the speed of the trains, so there is an average delay of 15 to 20 minutes,” said Vineet Abhishek, Chief Public Relations Officer, Western Railway.
Central Railway services on both the Main and Harbour lines were restored Wednesday morning after being declared fit for operations. The Down Harbour line was cleared at 2 am and the Up line at 3 am, with services now plying on all sections, officials said.
“The Harbour line and Main line services are running smoothly after the early morning restoration. Suburban operations are normal across all sections,” said a Central Railway spokesperson.
Long-distance trains, however, remained affected. Three trains originating from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus were rescheduled on Wednesday owing to operational disruptions caused by heavy rains and waterlogging. The CSMT-Chennai Central service, scheduled to depart at 12.45 pm, was rescheduled to 4.40 pm. The Antodaya Express to Gorakhpur, scheduled at 1.30 pm, was rescheduled to 5.15 pm. The CSMT–Howrah Duronto Express, scheduled for 5.15 pm, will now depart at 12.15 am on August 21.
On Tuesday, Central Railway operations had been severely hit, with all Main Line services between CSMT and Thane being suspended due to flooding at Sion and Chunabhatti. Twenty-seven long-distance trains were cancelled and several others were short-terminated, while the Western Railway had cancelled around 100 services amid waterlogging between Nalasopara and Vasai Road. By evening, services were gradually restored with delays of up to 15 minutes.
