A mega block will be in effect today, Sunday, April 26, on the local train network, considered Mumbai’s lifeline. According to the Railway Administration, this block is being implemented for track maintenance, signalling, and repairs to overhead equipment. Passengers on the Western and Harbour Lines will be primarily affected. However, there is some relief for Central Railway passengers as no block has been announced there.

A 10-hour-long mega block will be observed on Western Railway today. This block will primarily be between Jogeshwari and Ram Mandir, and near Dahisar station.

Uran Line: All local trains will operate normally on this route as well.
Important Tips for Passengers
Due to the block, train congestion may increase in affected areas. The Railways have urged passengers to plan their travel and leave home with extra time to reach their destination. To avoid any inconvenience, get the latest information from the official Railways app or enquiry counters.
