MUMBAI: Train services on the Western Railway will be affected for 13 hours on the night of March 1-2, leading to cancellation of 168 suburban train services as WR authorities will carry out re-girdering of bridge number 5 between Mumbai Central and Grant Road stations from 10pm on Saturday to 11am on Sunday. The rail authorities will take a 13-hour block on the Up and Down fast lines between these two stations that would impact trains on the Churchgate-Dahanu route. Vineet Abhishek, chief PRO, WR, said during the block period, all Up and Down fast line trains will be operated on slow lines between Churchgate and Mumbai Central stations, due to which some suburban trains will be cancelled or short terminated at Bandra and Dadar stations.
