Mumbai, Maharashtra (November 26, 2024): Western Railway (WR) will introduce 13 additional air-conditioned (AC) local train services on the Mumbai Suburban section starting 27th November 2024. This will bring the total number of AC services to 109 on weekdays and 65 on weekends.

There will be no change in the total number of services, i.e., the count of local services is 1406 including the 109 AC local train services.
The first new AC local will depart Churchgate at 12:34 p.m. on 27th November, and subsequent services will follow the new schedule.
