During this period, many suburban trains will be diverted, while some services on the Harbour line will remain suspended.
On the Main Line, DOWN slow trains leaving Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) between 10.48 am and 3.45 pm will run on the fast corridor between CSMT and Vidyavihar. These trains will stop at Byculla, Parel, Dadar, Matunga, Sion and Kurla stations before moving back to the slow line at Vidyavihar.
