Train services will be affected on October 11 due to VNG EI commissioning work under the railway quadrupling project between Virar and Dahanu Road. The work will result in changes to the originating and terminating stations of three trains, while six other trains will depart later than scheduled.

Several additional trains may also face delays due to the impact of the technical work on railway operations. Railway officials have advised passengers to check the latest train schedules and plan their journeys accordingly.

Three Trains to Operate From Changed Stations

The originating or terminating stations of the following three trains have been changed:

• Train No. 19417 (Borivali–Vatva): Will now originate from Vapi.
• Train No. 19001 (Virar–Surat): Will now originate from Valsad.
• Train No. 19002 (Surat–Virar): Will terminate at Dahanu Road.

Passengers travelling on these services should check the revised arrangements before heading to the station.

Six Trains to Depart Late

The commissioning work is part of the quadrupling project between Virar and Dahanu Road. Passengers travelling on October 11 are advised to verify their train timings and check the revised originating and terminating stations before leaving for the railway station to avoid inconvenience.
