Mumbai local train services will operate on Monday, May 12, on a holiday schedule similar to Sunday's Mega block. Due to Buddha Purnima 2025, commuters may face train delays, cancellations, or reschedules. Travellers are advised to check updates before planning their journeys. All suburban and mainline trains will follow the Sunday/holiday timetable, which typically means reduced frequency of local trains on both the Up and Down lines on Monday.
Buddha Purnima, also known as Buddha Jayanti or Vesak, is the most important festival for Buddhists. It marks Gautama Buddha's birth and death (Parinirvana). Observed on the full moon day in the month of Vaisakha (April-May), this sacred occasion is celebrated by Buddhists in India.
Meanwhile, Western Railway scheduled a block on May 13 for rebuilding Bridge number 968, which involves launching and de-launching girders between Mahesana and Jagudan stations on the Palanpur-Ahmedabad section.
