Days after Mumbai local train commuters complained of doors of the AC train failing to open at eight stations, the Western Railways (WR) claimed that they have replaced the faulty sensors which led to the malfunction.

Last week, on Thursday, July 28, the doors were opened manually by railway personnel from Borivali to Virar railway stations. The doors of the AC local train did not open at Andheri, Borivali, Dahisar, Mira Road, Bhayandar, Naigaon, Nalasopara and Virar railway stations.

Later, the train was taken to a railway car shed. The train was thoroughly checked and Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL), which manufactured the AC train, changed the sensors, said a senior Western Railway official.

Meanwhile, after the incident was reported, the Central Railway has started regular inspection of AC local trains to avoid any such incident taking place again.

It is pertinent to note that, there has been an incident on the Central Railway of the doors not opening. Therefore, the officials are checking all electrical parts of the AC local trains that are currently operational at the railway car shed.

For those unversed, on July 12, the door of a compartment of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus-bound Kalyan AC local did not open at Dadar railway station and passengers had to de-board at Byculla railway station.
