Railway officials stated that trains scheduled on the 6th line will be diverted to the fast corridor between Borivali and Andheri.

Meanwhile, Central Railway has announced a mega block on its Harbour Line on Sunday (April 26) between Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus and Bandra/Chunabhatti sections to facilitate essential engineering and maintenance works.

Down Harbour line services from CSMT towards Vashi, Belapur, and Panvel, as well as towards Bandra and Goregaon, will remain suspended between late morning and afternoon hours. Similarly, up services heading towards CSMT from these sections will also be curtailed during the block period.
