EEH choked, but CR trains a little better

April 19, 2012 10:51

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 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. The official has claimed that the delay has also come
down "significantly" from that of yesterday.
