On the Harbour line there will be a mega block on both fast and slow lines between Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) and Bandra/Chunabhatti.
A jumbo block of five hours will be taken from 10.35 am to 3.35 pm on both up and down slow lines between Churchgate and Mumbai Central stations for the maintenance of track, signalling and overhead equipment. During the block period, all trains will run on the fast track between these two stations, leading to the cancellation of a few train services.

Trains from Kalyan towards CSMT will be diverted to the slow track during the block period between Kalyan and Thane, with fast and semi-fast trains halting at Ghatkopar, Vikhroli, Bhandup, Mulund and Diva stations, in addition to their scheduled halts. The additional halts will delay arrival at their destination by 20 minutes.
