Western Railway (WR) will introduce a revised suburban train timetable from September 1, 2026, bringing changes to several local train services across the Mumbai suburban network.
The revised schedule is designed to align train operations more closely with passenger demand and improve connectivity during different parts of the day.
Despite the changes, the overall number of Western Railway suburban services will remain at 1,414. The railway zone will add six new services while withdrawing six existing ones. Several trains will also have their routes, stopping patterns and originating or terminating stations modified.
Western Railway will introduce six new slow suburban services under the revised timetable. These include two Up services and four Down services.
Up Services:
Down Services:
The additional late-evening and early-morning services are expected to provide more options for commuters travelling outside the traditional peak hours.
As part of the timetable restructuring, Western Railway will discontinue six existing suburban services.
Up Services:
Down Services:
The withdrawal of these services is part of the wider timetable rationalisation, with replacement or modified services being introduced based on operational requirements and passenger demand.
The number of weekday AC suburban services will rise from 145 to 147 under the new timetable. On Saturdays and Sundays, Western Railway will operate 116 AC services.
Two existing non-AC services will be converted into AC services while retaining their existing timings and routes:
The changes will provide additional AC travel options during the evening period.
One of the notable changes in the new timetable is the creation of a direct Dadar–Dahanu Road suburban service.
At present, Train No. 90677 Dadar–Virar and Train No. 93033 Virar–Dahanu Road operate as separate services. Under the revised arrangement, the two services will be integrated.
The revised Train No. 93033 will depart Dadar at 5:22 pm and reach Dahanu Road at 7:30 pm, providing through connectivity without the need for passengers to change trains at Virar.
Another important change affects the morning service from Virar.
Train No. 92046 Virar–Dadar, which currently departs Virar at 8:23 am, will be extended to Churchgate and operate as Train No. 92056. The extended service is scheduled to reach Churchgate at 9:48 am.
Meanwhile, Train No. 92069 Dadar–Virar will be revised as Train No. 92083. The service will originate from Churchgate at 9:52 am and operate up to Nalasopara.
These route changes are intended to improve direct connectivity on the Western Railway suburban corridor.
The revised timetable will also change the stopping patterns of some fast services.
The following Churchgate–Virar services will no longer halt at Borivali:
Passengers travelling to or from Borivali during these timings will therefore need to check alternative services.
Western Railway has also revised the operation of certain AC slow locals.
Train No. 94029, which currently runs from Churchgate to Borivali, will now terminate at Goregaon and operate as Train No. 94045 Churchgate–Goregaon AC Slow.
In the return direction, Train No. 94040 Borivali–Churchgate will instead originate from Goregaon at 11:39 am as Train No. 94060 Goregaon–Churchgate AC Slow.
