Office-Goers, who took the morning AC local between Kalyan and CSMT and even bought a pass, are fuming, as Central Railway has abruptly changed the timing and replaced it with a regular suburban train. CR changed the timetable on Friday, with the introduction of 32 additional AC local services on the main line, including 25 fast ones.

“After the AC local was introduced on the main line, we were very happy and bought a pass. The train used to arrive at Dombivli around 7.47 am and we would reach south Mumbai by 9 am. This train was heavily patronised by commuters, as it was convenient. After the introduction of more services on Friday, the 7.47-am AC local was rescheduled to 9 am and now reaches CSMT by 10 am, which is of no use to us. A regular local has replaced the AC train. Many have lost their regular AC train as well as trust,” said Bhandup commuter Sangram Salaskar.
