Mumbai Local is considered as the lifeline of Mumbaikars. Efforts are being made from Central, West and Harbour to make local travel smooth and easy for Mumbaikars. Often passengers cannot even board the local train during rush hours. Be it first class or second class compartment, it becomes a task to board the local train, making the passengers demand more trips. The CR has made some changes in the timetable from October 5.
Stop for fast locals at Mumbra and Kalwa during rush hours
Fast local trains will halt at Kalwa and Mumbra. A couple of local trains will get a stop during the morning and evening rush hours. As per the new schedule, the suspension will be from October 5, 2024. Passengers who regularly reach Mumbai for their work from Kalwa and Mumbra railway stations have got relief.

Central Railway to Implement New Schedule from October 5
Starting October 5, Central Railway will introduce a new schedule, adding 10 up and 10 down local trains from Dadar station. This might ease up the rush. Additionally, 22 fast up and down trains departing from CSMT will now originate from Dadar. This change might inconvenience passengers traveling from CSMT and Byculla stations.
