So in Western Lines, Borivali to Vasai (up and down) is not operational currently. In Central Lines, CST to Thane (up and down) is not working. In Harbour Lines, CST to Vashi (up and down) is not working currently.
So in effect, Thane and Vashi, two of the important areas in outskirts of Mumbai are currently not accessible by Mumbai local trains, which would be extremely problematic for lakhs of commuters who come to the Maximum City for work.
Central Railway: Due to rains,Central Railway Suburban Services will run in following sections till further notice—CSMT-Bandra on Harbour line,Vashi-Panvel on Harbour line,Thane-Vashi-Panvel on Trans-Harbour line,4th corridor to Kharkopar,Thane-Kasara/Karjat/Khopoli on main line. pic.twitter.com/Un73ZTuFHV
