Mumbai Local Train Mega Block on October 26, 2025: Service to Be Affected On Central Line This Sunday; Check Details of Western and Harbour Lines

The Mumbai local, often called the lifeline of Mumbaikars, operates non-stop day and night, carrying lakhs of passengers across the city. However, even this system requires periodic maintenance and repairs. To ensure smooth operations, the Central Railway has announced a Sunday mega block on suburban routes in the city on Sunday, October 26, for essential engineering and maintenance work. The railway administration has urged passengers to cooperate during this period.

Central Line

A mega block will be imposed from 11.05 am to 3.45 pm on Sunday between Matunga and Mulund railway station on both Up and Down fast lines. Local trains departing from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) between 10.36 am and 3.10 pm will be diverted to the Down slow Line at Matunga station and will halt at all stations up to Mulund. These trains will reach their destinations about 15 minutes late. After Thane, they will resume running on the Fast Line.
