Nashik: The CSMT-Manmad Panchvati Express (12109), the Manmad-CSMT Panchvati Express (12110), the CSMT-Dhule Express (11011), and the Dhule-CSMT Express (11012) will remain cancelled on June 6. Several other trains will be short-terminated, delayed, or diverted due to a power block between Asangaon and Thansit stations on the Central Railway route connecting Nashik and Mumbai.
Infrastructure Upgrade Leads to Disruptions
Central Railway’s Mumbai division will implement a special traffic and power block between Asangaon and Thansit stations from 2:00 PM on June 6 to 3:00 AM on June 7. This 13-hour block is required for commissioning a new electronic interlocking system and removing the old panel at Atgaon station. The infrastructure project will temporarily disrupt train operations along the Mumbai-Bhusaval route, resulting in cancellations, short-terminations, and diversions of several key trains.
Affected Trains and Changes
- Hazur Sahib Nanded-CSMT Express (17611), departing Nanded on June 5, will be short-terminated at Manmad and remain cancelled between Manmad and Mumbai. In the return direction on June 6, the CSMT-Hazur Sahib Nanded Express (17612) will originate from Manmad instead of Mumbai.
- Hingoli Deccan-CSMT Jan Shatabdi Express (12072) on June 6 will be short-terminated at Nashik Road, while the CSMT-Hingoli Jan Shatabdi Express (12071) will originate from Nashik Road instead of CSMT.
- Eleven down-direction trains have been rescheduled, with departures from Mumbai delayed by two to four hours.
- Several trains on June 6 will be diverted via the Kalyan-Karjat-Pune-Manmad route to maintain network connectivity.
Alternative Arrangements for Passengers
Central Railway has announced that alternative travel arrangements will be provided for passengers bound for Mumbai from the short-terminated stops at Nashik Road and Manmad. Special refund counters are being set up at affected stations for commuters wishing to cancel their tickets. Dedicated help desks will be operational to guide passengers through the temporary changes.
