Palghar Rail Block to Impact Multiple Trains Today
A one-hour and fifteen-minute block on the UP and Down Main Line between Vangaon and Dahanu Road stations has been scheduled today, 28th January 2025. The block, to be implemented from 10:30 am to 11:45 am, is required to facilitate the launching of a composite girder for constructing a Road Over Bridge (ROB) in the Mumbai Central Division.
As a result, several Western Railway trains will experience disruptions, including partial cancellations, short terminations, and delays, impacting passengers commuting on this busy route. Train No. 93013 (Virar–Dahanu Road Passenger) will terminate early at Vangaon, leading to the partial cancellation of Train Nos. 93013 and 93014 between Vangaon and Dahanu Road. Similarly, Train No. 93015 (Churchgate–Dahanu Road Passenger) will terminate at Boisar, resulting in the partial cancellation of Train Nos. 93015 and 93016 between Boisar and Dahanu Road.
