The Central Railway has cancelled nine train services for nearly a week and short-terminated or diverted several others due to the ongoing repair works in the South East ghat section between Karjat and Lonavala, which was damaged in the recent landslides, officials said on Friday.

The railway had restored the South East Down line and the Middle line between Karjat and Lonavala on July 14, allowing several trains to resume normal operations. However, work to restore the third line, which is the South East ghat section, is still in progress, prompting continued disruptions on several routes, the Railways said in a statement.

Traffic on all three railway lines was disrupted after heavy rain on July 6 triggered landslides at multiple locations between Lonavala and Karjat.

Central Railway said its teams are working 24×7 to clear debris and normalise services on the Lonavala-Karjat section at the earliest. “Till the restoration of the third line, Central Railway has decided to cancel, short-terminate, short-originate or divert the following trains for a temporary period,” it stated.

Passengers have been advised to check the railway helpline or the NTES app for real-time train running information, with regular updates also being shared on the railway’s social media channels.
