Mumbai Local Train Night Block: Central Railway Track Upgradation Check Affected Trains

Travellers using the Central Railway's suburban network in Mumbai should note a special traffic block between Parel and Byculla stations. This will occur from 12:30 AM to 4:30 AM on October 5. The block is for upgrading DSS point number 127A at Byculla station, changing it from a 52 kg section to a 60 kg section. This is part of ongoing efforts to enhance the network's safety.

The UP fast line between Parel (excluding) and Byculla (including) will be impacted during these hours. Consequently, two long-distance trains, Train No. 11020 (Bhubaneswar–CSMT Konark Express) and Train No. 12810 (Howrah–CSMT Express), will terminate early at Dadar station. Passengers should plan their journeys accordingly and arrange alternative transport for the final part of their trip.

Impact on Other Services

Central Railway has also warned that other late-running Mail/Express services and special trains during this period might face regulation or early termination based on operational needs. Delays in reaching destination stations are possible, so passengers should prepare for potential disruptions.

Passengers are urged to cooperate with the railway authorities and bear any inconvenience caused by these changes. For real-time updates and further information, travellers are encouraged to follow official announcements from Central Railway.

This upgrade is part of broader efforts to strengthen the suburban network and improve operational safety across the system. The conversion of DSS point number 127A aims to enhance the infrastructure's durability and reliability.

By staying informed about these changes, passengers can better manage their travel plans and avoid unexpected delays or disruptions during their journey on October 5.
