Mumbai: Western Railway will undertake a major jumbo block between Kandivali and Borivali stations to facilitate the re-girdering of Bridge No. 61, significantly impacting suburban train services over the weekend.
According to a tweet by Western Railways, the block will be carried out on the UP and DOWN slow lines from 22:30 hrs on March 28, to 19:30 hrs on March 29. Additionally, a block will be taken on the DOWN fast line from 01:00 hrs to 04:30 hrs on March 29.
During the slow line block period, all slow line trains will be diverted and operated on fast lines between Goregaon and Borivali. Meanwhile, during the block on the DOWN fast line, trains will not halt at Ram Mandir, Malad, and Kandivali stations in the DOWN direction due to the non-availability of platforms, as services will be operated on the 5th line between Andheri and Borivali.
Further, no trains will be handled at Borivali platforms 1 and 2 during the block period. Several suburban services will remain cancelled or short-terminated at Andheri and Goregaon stations. Commuters can access the detailed list of affected services at the Station Master’s office across suburban stations.
In addition, all 15-car slow services will run as fast trains between Andheri and Borivali in both directions during the block period.

The block on the Central line between Matunga and Mulund on the UP and DOWN slow lines will be in effect from 11:05 am to 3:55 pm. During this period, slow local trains will be diverted to fast lines, resulting in delays of up to 20 minutes.
