In a major upgrade to the Mumbai suburban network, the railways will begin AC local train services on the Harbour line from January 26, coinciding with Republic Day.
This will bring relief to lakhs of daily commuters offering a more comfortable travel option to passengers on those corridors.
Until now, AC local services were available only on the Western Railway and the main line of the Central Railway.
Harbour line saw AC local train services introduced in 2021, however, they were withdrawn later due to low demand. Since then, commuters, had been waiting for years for similar facilities. The wait will finally come to an end with the launch of AC locals, promising a cooler and more comfortable commuting experience.
Train Timings:
With the rollout of AC locals, services will be extended across key Harbour line sections, including Vashi–Wadala Road, Panvel–CSMT and Panvel–Wadala Road routes.
As per the schedule, the last AC local from Panvel towards CSMT will depart at 6.37 pm, while the final AC local from CSMT to Panvel will leave at 8 pm.
