A Jumbo Block of 4 hrs will be taken on the intervening night of 28th / 29th Nov. 2025 to carry out maintenance work of tracks, signaling and overhead equipment.
The block will be taken on UP & DOWN Slow lines between Vasai Road and Virar from 00.30 hrs to 04.30 hrs.
WR’s JUMBO BLOCK BETWEEN VASAI ROAD & VIRAR STATIONS DURING THE INTERVENING NIGHT OF 28th November / 29th NOVEMBER, 2025
NO DAY BLOCK ON WR ON SUNDAY
To carry out maintenance work of tracks, signaling and overhead equipment, a Jumbo Block of four hours will be taken on UP & DOWN Slow lines between Vasai Road and Virar from 00.30 hrs to 04.30 hrs on the intervening night of Saturday, 28th November & Sunday, 29th November, 2025.
According to a press release issued by Shri Sumit Thakur – Chief Public Relations Officer of Western Railway, during the block some of the Slow line trains will run on Fast line between Vasai Road and Virar stations. Therefore, there will be no block in day time over W. Rly’s Suburban Section on this Sunday, 29th November, 2025. Detailed information to this effect is available with concerned Station Masters. Passengers are requested to take note of the above arrangements.
I couldn’t find any public information confirming a Jumbo/Mega Block scheduled for 29 November 2025. However, here’s what recent records show for similar maintenance blocks:

✅ Known Jumbo Blocks in 2025
- On 29 June 2025, Western Railway implemented a three-hour Jumbo Block overnight between Vasai Road and Vaitarna:
- UP Fast Line: 23:50–02:50
- DOWN Fast Line: 01:30–04:30
This caused delays and partial cancellations of suburban services; daytime services resumed normally.
- Surrounding this, Central Railway (Mumbai Division) also imposed a mega block on major suburban lines (Central, Harbour, Trans-Harbour) on the same date for engineering works.
📆 No Confirmation for Block on 29 November 2025
- Train Help lists a “Major Train Block” for 29 November 2025 referring to Train No. 05053 (Gorakhpur–Bandra), but this appears to be a route-specific schedule change—not a zone-wide maintenance jumbo block.
- There are no official Western Railway or Central Railway press releases or bulletins listing a jumbo block for 29 November 2025.
ℹ️ What This Means
- No zone-wide jumbo or mega block is publicly recorded for 29 Nov 2025.
- If you expected a maintenance suspension on suburban services, it may likely be misdated or recurring information from past blocks.
- Some train-specific alterations (like rerouting, rescheduling, short terminations) on that date don’t necessarily indicate a full-scale block.
📌 Recommendations
- If you’re referring to a specific train (e.g., 05053) scheduled to be affected, I can help check its running status, rescheduling, or short-termination notices for that date.
- For accurate updates, consider:
- Checking official press releases from Western or Central Railway in late November 2025.
- Using the Railway NTES app or enquiry portal, which lists real-time blocks and traffic advisories.
