Commuters of Mumbai Harbour and Trans-Harbour Line were badly affected Tuesday morning when a technical issue struck close to Nerul station. The technical snag, which was at 8:03 AM, halted services for nearly 45 minutes, leading to huge overcrowding at key stations and forcing several commuters to take other routes.
 
1. What happened?
  • The issue was due to a breakdown in the signal system at Nerul station, which affected train movement on the Harbour Line (CSMT-Panvel) and Trans-Harbour Line (Thane-Panvel).
  • Two trains were blocked, necessitating manual clamping of points prior to resumption of services.
  • A few of the trains were diverted via Vashi but delays persisted, which annoyed passengers.
2. Commuter Issues & Overcrowding
  • The disruption occurred during peak hours and involved office employees and daily commuters.
  • Masses of people lined up at terminals, and passengers attempted to board alternative transport.
  • The majority of passengers complained about frequent technical failures, requesting better railway facilities.
3. Railway Response and Restoration Activities
  • Central Railway officials confirmed that the issue was resolved by 8:50 AM, but residual delays continued.
  • Officials vowed that measures are being taken to avoid future upsets.
  • The incident follows recent overcrowding-related fatalities, prompting calls for automatic door-closing systems in Mumbai’s suburban trains.
