WESTERN RAILWAY TO INCREASE SUBURBAN
SERVICES TO 1322 W.E.F. 10TH OCTOBER, 2016
For the comfort and convenience of
passengers, Western Railway is introducing 8 new services on the suburban
section, 4 each in Up & Dn direction respectively. The additional services
on the Virar sector are being introduced by optimum utilization of existing
links. 10 services are also being extended viz. 4 in Up and 6 in Down
direction. These changes will come into effect from 10th October, 2016.
Due to major changes in the timings and introduction of new Mail/Express trains
in the new Main Line Time Table of Western Zone w.e.f. 1/10/2016, suitable
changes were necessary in the existing suburban time table. Accordingly 5
existing suburban services have been planned to be cancelled including 4
existing services in up direction and one existing service in down direction.
The reasons for reduction in these existing suburban services have been told as
to incorporate the 8 additional services as indicated in the tables as under.
Therefore, the number of daily average of total suburban services on Western
Railway will now increase from 1319 to 1322 including 110 harbour services, as
8 new services are being introduced, while 5 are being reduced.
The details of new services are as under:

As per some other changes, five
existing suburban services have been decided to be short terminated, while the
timings and the paths of some of the existing suburban services will also be
changed due to speeding up of existing Mail/ Express trains, to ease congestion
during peak hours, reduction of diversions, revision in the departure timings
of Mail/ Express trains and adjustments for additional suburban services.
Similarly as 19024 Firozpur Janta Express will be speeded up, the duration of its
halt at Borivali is reduced and its regulation at Andheri has been away with
and hence it will arrive at Mumbai Central at 19:35 hrs instead of 20:10
hours. To accommodate 19024 at Dadar, Train No. BO 90878 will be dealt on
Pf-6 instead of Pf-5
