Western Railway suspends trains as rising water disrupts Mumbai-Ahmedabad route
Western Railway has suspended train movement between Gholvad and Umargam after rising water levels at a railway bridge. Several Mumbai-Ahmedabad trains, including Vande Bharat and Shatabdi, have been cancelled.
Heavy rain in Maharashtra has disrupted Western Railway services, forcing authorities to suspend train movement between Gholvad and Umargam stations on the Mumbai Central Division. The decision was taken as a precaution after water levels at Railway Bridge No. 203 rose to a dangerous level, affecting rail traffic on the busy Mumbai-Ahmedabad route. The disruption has led to the cancellation of several premium trains, while passengers have been asked to check the latest train status before leaving for their journey.
WHY WERE TRAIN SERVICES SUSPENDED?
According to Western Railway, rail traffic between Gholvad and Umargam has been temporarily suspended because rising water levels near Railway Bridge No. 203 made train operations unsafe.
The suspension has affected key routes connecting Mumbai Central with Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar, disrupting travel for thousands of passengers.
THESE TRAINS HAVE BEEN CANCELLED
Among the trains cancelled on Thursday are:
- Mumbai Central–Ahmedabad Gujarat Superfast Express
- Mumbai Central–Gandhinagar Capital–Mumbai Central Vande Bharat Express
- Mumbai Central–Ahmedabad–Mumbai Central Shatabdi Express
Western Railway said these services will remain cancelled due to the suspension of rail traffic on the affected stretch.
PASSENGERS ASKED TO CHECK TRAIN STATUS
Railway authorities have advised passengers to verify the latest status of their trains before starting their journey.
Travellers have also been asked to follow official updates issued by the Railways as weather conditions continue to affect operations.
HEAVY RAIN CONTINUES TO AFFECT THE REGION
The disruption comes as heavy monsoon rain continues to lash parts of Maharashtra. Flooding and rising river levels in Palghar district have affected railway infrastructure, leading to traffic regulation on the Western Railway network and impacting both long-distance and premium train services.
