Posted by : nikhilndls on May 15, 2012 - 03:01:21 AM

Passengers faced inconvenience on Western, Central and Harbour lines due to megablocks on Sunday.

    To carry out maintenance of track, signalling and overhead equipment, a jumbo block was carried out between Churchgate and Mumbai Central (local) stations from 11am to 4pm on Up and Down lines. During the period, all Up and Down slow line trains ran through the fast corridor between Churchgate and Mumbai Central stations. Some locals were cancelled, affecting the frequency of trains.

    CR operated a megablock on its suburban sections on Sunday. The block on the Dn fast line between Mulund and Matunga from 11am to 4pm led to trains being diverted on Dn slow line.

    A megablock was carried out on the Up Harbour line between Kurla and CST, and on Up and Dn Harbour lines between Andheri and Wadala from 11am to 4pm. The Dn Harbour line services to Bandra/Andheri leaving CST from 10.20am to 4.04pm and Up Harbour line services towards CST leaving Bandra/ Andheri from 10.40am to 3.45pm were suspended. The Up Harbour services from Panvel/Belapur/Vashi towards CST leaving Kurla from 10.43am to 3.48pm ran via mainline. TNN
