Commuters and travelers in Mumbai are bracing for significant disruptions in train services as Western Railway fast-tracks the construction of the 6th line between Khar and Goregaon. The block, which already commenced on October 7, 2023, will impact long-distance train commuters from October 26, 2023, to November 7, 2023.
According to Western Railway, the construction necessitates the cancellation of 43 Mail/Express train services and partial cancellations of 188 train services with short terminations/originations. Additionally, some trains will be rescheduled to accommodate the construction work. The disruption also extends to Western Railway's suburban section, affecting thousands of local commuters.
"This massive project is part of Western Railway's commitment to enhancing rail infrastructure and ensuring a more efficient and robust network for the future. Despite the extensive work involved, a meticulous 29-day block has been scheduled to minimize disruption to rail traffic and passenger inconvenience. It's worth noting that the block will begin with suburban train cancellations only from October 20, 2023. Approximately 2700 services will be canceled, and about 400 services will be partially canceled or short-terminated during this period," said a senior officer of Western Railway.
"We understand the inconvenience these disruptions may cause, but the completion of this project will greatly benefit passengers, especially commuters of the Mumbai suburban section. It will provide significant relief to Mumbaikars by allowing additional train services in the future," he added.
