- Central Railway: Up & Down Fast Lines between Matunga and Mulund blocked from 11:30 AM to 3:30 PM – all fast line services diverted to slow tracks during this maintenance window.
- Western Railway: Fast lines between Churchgate and Mumbai Central were similarly taken offline from 10:35 AM to 3:35 PM, with fast locals diverted over slow lines.
📋 Summary Table
| Line | Section | Block Time | Effect |

| Western Line | Churchgate ↔ Mumbai Central (Fast) | 10:35 AM – 3:35 PM | Fast locals diverted over slow lines |
ℹ️ Key Notes & Commuter Impact
- Most fast local services were rerouted onto slow tracks, which caused minor delays (typically 10–15 minutes) and led to temporary rescheduling for several trains.
- Harbour and Trans-Harbour lines appear unaffected by this particular block, though special local buses may have operated to assist Central/Western line commuters.
- No Western or Harbour daily block was officially reported for that date other than the fast-line maintenance on Western Line.
✅ Planning Ahead
If you’re traveling during Sundays in Winter/Early Summer 2025, consider:
- Checking NTES or official Central/Western Railway updates before travel.
- Avoid fast services during block hours if your journey includes Matunga–Mulund or Churchgate–Mumbai Central.
- Use slow or suburban lines—or temporal alternatives such as BEST buses—if necessary.
