Mumbai Local Train Mega Block: Local train services in Central, Harbour, Western and other lines will be affected on Sunday, April 19, due to scheduled mega blocks announced by Central and Western Railway. The blocks will impact the Central, Harbour, Trans-Harbour and Western lines at different intervals through the day and overnight.

Central Line

On the Central Line, a 10-hour mega block will be carried out between Mulund and Dombivli on the intervening night of April 18 (Saturday) and 19 (Sunday), from midnight to 10 am the next day. The block will cover the Mulund–Thane and Diva–Dombivli sections on both up and down slow lines. The work includes the extension of platforms at Thane and Dombivli railway stations.

During this period, several slow-line local trains will be diverted to fast lines between Kalyan and Mulund, skipping Thakurli and Kopar railway stations. Some fast trains will make additional halts at Diva, Mumbra and Kalva. Suburban trains are expected to run around 15 minutes behind schedule. A number of local train services will be short-terminated or originate from intermediate stations such as Kurla, Thane, Mumbra and Kalyan.
