A goods train between Karjat and Lonavala in Maharashtra derailed in the early hours of Monday, affecting several Mumbai-Pune intercity and long-distance services.
The incident occurred around 4.15 a.m. in the ghat section between Jambrung and Thakurwadi stations, when around 15 bogies of the goods train derailed. Owing to the derailment, the down line (towards Mumbai) and the middle line were infringed, affecting several trains. The middle line has since been cleared for traffic and trains are running with speed restrictions.
The immediate impact was on intercity trains from Mumbai to Pune, which have been cancelled. The Indrayani Express, Deccan Express, Intercity Express, Pragati Express, Deccan Queen Express and Koyna Express were cancelled. The Bhusaval-Pune Express was short terminated at Nashik, while the Pune-Solapur Intercity Express has also been cancelled.
The departure times of trains such as the Mumbai-Pune Sinhagad Express and the Pune-Santragachi Humsafar Express have been rescheduled.
