Meanwhile, local train services on the Western Line also experienced delays. Western Railway confirmed that all suburban lines between Churchgate and Dahanu Road, as well as Harbour line services, are operational but running late by 10–15 minutes. Earlier in the day, services between Virar and Vasai were briefly suspended due to waterlogging before being restored. Despite the heavy downpour, trains between Borivali and Churchgate continued to operate, though behind schedule as precautionary measures were taken owing to flooded tracks and reduced visibility.
