Mumbai Local Train Update: Central Line Trains Delayed By 20 Minutes Due to Track Sharing with Express Trains

The suburban train network in Mumbai has been experiencing delays of 15-20 minutes, causing significant inconvenience to commuters. The Sr DOM Coaching, Mumbai-CR, has issued a public apology to all affected passengers, acknowledging the frustration and disruption caused by these delays. The primary cause of the delays has been identified as the bunching of trains, which occurs when multiple trains are running close together, resulting in slower overall movement and increased wait times. Additionally, the suburban tracks are shared with express trains, further contributing to the delays.
