In an official statement, the Western Railway said that to carry out maintenance work of tracks, overhead and signalling equipment, a jumbo block of four hours will be taken on down slow line between Marine Lines and Mahim stations from 00.15 hrs to 04.15 hrs during the intervening night of 30th November/01st December, 2024.

These trains will not halt at Mahalaxmi, Lower Parel, Prabhadevi, Matunga Road and Mahim station due to non-availability of platforms at Mahalaxmi, Prabhadevi, and Matunga Road and inadequate length of platforms at Lower Parel and Mahim station.
