Fast trains on the Central Line, Harbour Line services between Kurla and Vashi, and select suburban trains on the Western Line will be disrupted. On the Central Line, a mega block on the UP and DOWN fast lines between Matunga and Mulund will run from 11:05 am to 3:45 pm, diverting trains to slow lines and causing delays of around 15 minutes. On the Harbour Line, a block between Kurla and Vashi from 11:10 am to 4:10 pm will suspend services, special trains will run between CSMT and Kurla and between Panvel and Vashi. On the Western Line, a block at Saphale station from 7:20 am to 9:50 am will fully cancel five trains and delay four others by 30 minutes. Passengers are advised to check revised schedules before travelling. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The maintenance blocks on all three railway lines mean tens of thousands of commuters will face longer travel times on Sunday. Central Line fast train users will see 15-minute delays, Harbour Line passengers lose direct service between Kurla and Vashi for five hours, and Western Line travellers have five trains cancelled. The railways have provided alternative routes and special services, but the revised schedules require passengers to plan ahead. The next step is for commuters to check official railway updates before their journey. ## Coverage - latestly.com Straight factual listing of block timings and affected services This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
