According to Vineet Abhishek, Chief Public Relations Officer of Western Railways, during the block, all UP slow line trains will run on the UP Fast line from Borivali to Goregaon. Similarly, all Down Slow line trains will run on the Down Fast line from Andheri, and these trains will be dealt at Platform No. 7 of Goregaon station.
