Local train services on the Central Railway in Mumbai will experience significant disruptions this weekend due to a 15-hour traffic and power block scheduled from Saturday noon to 3 am on Sunday. This block, affecting both up and down North-East lines, is necessary for non-interlocking work related to yard remodelling at Khardi. Nearly 50 train services are expected to be cancelled, with suburban services being the most impacted. No local trains will operate between Asangaon and Kasara during this period, and several Kasara-bound trains from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) will be short-terminated at intermediate stations like Asangaon, Titwala, or Vasind. The last local train from CSMT to Kasara will leave at 8:33 am on Saturday, while the first service after the block will resume at 4:19 am on Sunday. Long-distance train operations will also be affected, with some services likely to be delayed by 25–30 minutes due to congestion. Passengers are advised to check revised schedules prior to their journeys.
