Over the last few weeks, Central Railway has testing commuter’s patience as not a single fast train or slow train arrives on time or reaches the destination on time. Adding to this, CR has now been cancelling local train services due to the dearth of motormen. In the last 4-5 days, more than 40 services have been cancelled.
The CR is planning to suspend some more services as only 690 motormen are available, whereas there is a need of at least 898 motormen. Officials have now asked appointed motormen for overtime, but they are not ready for the same.

Commuters are taking their anger of delayed trains to Twitter asking Central Railway to act on it.
Just Noted!!!! Why these delay... People want to know... There is no rain/no issues in track.. Then why delay in over crowded city like Mumbai.
