Quick Read
Commuters on Mumbai’s Western Railway (WR) will have to brace for about 75 to 80 cancellations of suburban trains starting Monday for the construction of the important leg of the 6th line till Borivali. The line is expected to segregate suburban and mail-express trains all the way between Bandra and Borivali.
The WR has, however, said that these cancellations would be spread out throughout the day and not at any particular time. “This is because the 5th STA (suburban traffic avoidance line) line will be required to be suspended to be integrated with the new line. Express trains will be travelling on the fast corridor,” a WR official said.
