Local trains Mumbai's Harbour, Trans-Harbour rail network delayed
Earlier on Tuesday, October 3, 2023, local train services on Mumbai's Harbour and Trans-Harbour suburban network were affected due to track changing point failure that lasted nearly two hours.
The point failure at Panvel railway station located in neighbouring Raigad district took place between 5.35 am to 7.25 am, due to which the suburban services terminating at and originating from Panvel got delayed by about 30 minutes.
The Harbour line of the Central Railway (CR) connects Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) in Mumbai to Panvel as well as the Navi Mumbai suburbs, while the Trans-Harbour line connects Panvel to Thane.
