On the Western Railway, a night block will be carried out between Mahim and Santacruz stations on the Up and Down slow lines from 1:00 am to 4:30 am on Sunday night. During this period, slow line trains will be diverted to the fast lines. Since the platform is short on certain stations, suburban trains did not halt at Mahalaxmi, Prabhadevi and Matunga Road stations, while trains will make a double halt at Lower Parel, Mahim and Khar Road stations.
