To facilitate the construction of the sixth line between Goregaon and Kandivali, a mega block of 10 hours will be undertaken on the Up and Down slow lines as well as on the Down fast line between the two stations from Saturday midnight till 10 am on Sunday
During the block, all the Churchgate-bound slow-line trains will run on the fast line from Borivali to Goregaon
Similarly, all the Virar/Dahanu slow line trains will operate on the fast line from Andheri, and these trains will halt at Platform No 7 of Goregaon station
Between Goregaon and Borivali stations, all the Virar/Dahanu-bound slow-line trains will run on the fifth line. These trains will not halt at Ram Mandir, Malad and Kandivali stations owing to the unavailability of platforms
Also, a few slow trains operating between Churchgate and Borivali stations will be short-terminated and reversed from Goregaon station, revealed the press release issued by Vineet Abhishek, the Chief Public Relations Officer of Western Railway (WR). Some suburban trains will be cancelled/short-terminated during the block
The railways informed that Up and Down Mail/Express trains will be subject to delays of approximately 10 to 20 minutes during the block period
Passengers can inquire about the cancelled/short-terminated trains with the station masters
WR is working on the sixth line between Goregaon and Kandivali to relieve traffic congestion and increase train punctuality
The work, which will cover roughly 4.5 kilometres, is scheduled to be completed by October 5/6. To minimise inconvenience to travellers, the work will be completed primarily on weekends
