Mumbai commuters are likely to face significant travel disruptions as Central Railway has declared a mega block on both the Central and Harbour suburban railway lines on Sunday, June 29, 2025. The scheduled maintenance work is part of routine monsoon preparedness and aims to enhance commuter safety and operational efficiency.
The block will take place between 11:00 AM and 4:00 PM, during which several local train services will be cancelled, short-terminated, or rescheduled across both lines. The affected segments include major corridors on the Central Railway Main Line and the Harbour Line, both critical for daily intra-city transport.
On the Central Line, certain stretches will be completely shut for track and signal maintenance between 11 AM and 4 PM. On the Harbour Line, similar blocks will affect services during the same hours. Multiple trains will not run during this time; some will terminate earlier or start from later stations. Authorities suggest using BEST buses, Metro routes, or other suburban lines not impacted by the block.
Railway officials have requested passengers to avoid last-minute travel, check updated timetables, and plan in advance to minimize inconvenience. While the disruptions may cause temporary delays, the railway administration stresses that the maintenance is crucial for safety and reliability, especially ahead of heavy monsoon traffic.
