All trains from Virar/Vasai/By run late by 10-15 min during peak hours in both directions. Reason is crossing of Borivali semi fast local at Andheri in morning as well as evening and Goregaon Semi fast local originating in the morning. WR earlier tried to remove the stop of Goregaon originating local at Jogeshwari and situation had improved at that time but people of Jogeshwari staged protests and WR had to rollback that decision. However since now all the Andheri slow local from Churchgate extended upto Goregaon after extension of harbour line, there are lot of extra services available to Goregaon/Jogeshwari pax and WR should now remove Goregaon semi fast local to remove the bottleneck. Anyways, Goregaon local remains relatively empty nowadays which means not many passengers are dependent on it. Once the 5th and 6th lines are extended upto Borivali, then even the Malad starting semi fast locals should be scrapped.
please wait...Translate to EnglishYo, all the trains coming from Virar/Vasai/By are running late by about 10-15 mins during rush hours in both ways. This is because of the Borivali semi fast local crossing at Andheri in the AM and PM, and the Goregaon semi fast local starting in the morning. WR tried to ditch the stop at Jogeshwari for the Goregaon local to sort things out but folks of Jogeshwari went all out protesting, so WR had to backtrack. But now, with all the Andheri slow locals rolling up to Goregaon after the harbour line extension, there are extra services for Goregaon/Jogeshwari peeps. WR should just scrap the Goregaon semi fast cuz it's hella empty these days, not many folks relying on it. Once the 5th and 6th lines stretch to Borivali, even the Malad semi fast locals should hit the road.
please wait...Translate to HindiVirar/Vasai/By wale trains peak hours mein 10-15 min late aate hain dono directions mein. Reason hai: Borivali semi fast local ka Andheri mein cross karna, subah aur shaam mein, aur Goregaon Semi fast local ka subah mein start hona. WR ne pehle hi try kiya tha Goregaon local ko Jogeshwari mein stop hataane ka, aur situation tab better ho gaya tha par Jogeshwari ke logon ne protest kiya aur WR ko uss faisle ko wapas lena pada. Phir bhi ab sab Andheri slow local Churchgate se Goregaon tak badh gayi hai harbour line ke extension ke baad, toh Goregaon/Jogeshwari wale bahut extra services ke liye saath mein trains milte hain aur WR ko Goregaon semi fast local hata dena chahiye bottleneck ko dur karne ke liye. Anyways, Goregaon local ab thoda khali rehta hai aajkal jisse ke kaafi kam log uspe dependent hain. Jab 5th aur 6th lines Borivali tak extend honge, tab Malad se start hone wali semi fast locals bhi cancel kar deni chahiye.
