Mumbai Express Train Update: Several long-distance Trains Diverted and Terminated Due To Water Logging, Check Details Inside

Heavy rainfall in Maharashtra's Thane area severely impacted Mumbai's local train services on Sunday morning, leading to their suspension between Kasara and Titwala stations. Reports cited waterlogging on tracks between Vashind and Khadavli stations along the Kalyan-Kasara route. Several long-distance trains were either diverted or terminated early.

According to officials from the Central Railway, tracks on the busy Kalyan-Kasara route were deemed "unsafe" due to soil erosion between Atgaon and Thansit stations, exacerbated by heavy rainfall. Additionally, a fallen tree blocked track near Vashind station. Restoration efforts are currently underway to clear the tracks and ensure normalcy in train operations.

- Train No. 20705 J - CSMT Vande Bharat Express, terminated at IGP
