A little relief for Mumbai's train commuters

April 19, 2012 10:37

Lakhs of commuters, mostly of the Central Railway line in Mumbai, are likely to get some relief during the rush hour today with authorities trying to restore the disrupted services.

"We will run all peak-hour suburban services. We will operate around 85 per cent to 90 per cent of the total services during the day," Central Railway Chief Public Relations Officer V A Malegaonkar said.

Lakhs of commuters in Mumbai had a harrowing time yesterday as services on the Central Railway line were thrown out of gear following a fire in a signal cabin between Kurla and Vidyavihar stations on Tuesday night causing heavy damage to signalling gears.
