Mega Block On 21.3.2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mega Block on 21.03.2025 (Sunday)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Central Railway will operate Mega Block on its suburban sections for carrying out out various engineering and maintenance work on 21st March 2025.<\/p>\n

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus-Vidyavihar Up and Dn slow lines from 10.55 am to 3.55 pm<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dn slow services leaving Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus from 10.48 am to 3.36 pm will be diverted on Dn fast line between Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus and Vidyavihar stations and further re-diverted on Dn slow line proper.<\/p>\n

Up slow services leaving Ghatkopar from 10.40 am to 3.52 pm will be diverted on Up fast line between Vidyavihar and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus.<\/p>\n

Slow Services will not be available at Masjid, Sandhurst Road, Chinchpokli, Curry Road and Vidyavihar during the block period.<\/p>\n

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus \u2013 Chunabhatti \/ Bandra Dn harbour line from 11.40 am to 4.40 pm & Chunabhatti \/ Bandra- Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus Up harbour line from 11.10 am to 4.10 pm<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dn Harbour line services to Vashi \/ Belapur\/ Panvel leaving Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus Mumbai \/ Vadala Road from 11.34 am to 4.47 pm and Dn Harbour line services to Bandra \/ Goregaon leaving Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus Mumbai from 09.02 am to 4.43 pm will remain suspended.<\/p>\n

Harbour line passengers are permitted to travel via Main Line and Western Railway from 10.00 am to 6.00 pm during block period.<\/p>\n

These maintenance mega blocks are essential for infrastructure upkeep and safety. Passengers are requested to bear with the Railway Administration for the inconvenience caused.<\/p>\n

I couldn\u2019t find any record of a mega block scheduled on Friday, March\u202f21, 2025<\/strong>. However, detailed announcements and news sources confirm two major maintenance blocks occurring on March\u202f23<\/strong> and March\u202f30, 2025<\/strong>, affecting Mumbai\u2019s suburban network.<\/p>\n
