Central Railway, too, has now decided to resume full local train services from January 29, after Western Railway “Friday”.

The CR has agreed, according to a press release released by the Public Relations Department, to raise the number of suburban facilities from the present 1,580 to 1,685.

On Tuesday, with effect from Friday, the WR also agreed to expand the current 1,201 suburban services to 1,367 services. As of Friday, the railways were currently contemplating such a call and services will be improved.

A meeting led by Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray at his official bungalow earlier this week followed the resumption of CR’s full service to discuss the official opening of local train services to all commuters without triggering overcrowding.

The Maharashtra government announced after the meeting that a decision on the restoration of local trains for all in Mumbai would be taken soon.

Chief Secretary Sanjay Kumar, Principal Advisor Ajoy Mehta, Brihanmumbai Municipal Commissioner Iqbal Singh Chahal, Disaster Management Director Abhay Yavalkar, Central Railway General Manager Sanjeev Mittal, and Western Railway General Manager Alok Kansal were all present at the conference. Mumbai Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh and senior health department officials were also present.

At present, in view of the coronavirus pandemic, only those groups of passengers, including those offering critical services and women, can travel on local trains in the Mumbai area. Others were advised not to run to the train stations.

Passengers were also recommended to comply with all COVID-19-related Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) requirements during booking, travel, and at the destination.

Various models for opening up travel by locals for all are being worked on, according to a senior state government official. Perhaps, connectivity to everything would initially be limited to only non-peak hours. A decision will be made shortly afterward.

Locals in Mumbai: 95% of train services from Friday to resume operations; not all commuters can ride.

Only those approved by the Ministry of Railways and the State Government to travel by the suburban railways at many stages of unlocking would be able to use local train services.

95% of the total 3,141 Mumbai local train services will start operations on the suburban network from 29 January onwards after a 10-month hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but all commuters will not be permitted to board suburban trains.

The Central Railway and the Western Railway said in a joint statement that from Friday an additional 204 special local train services would be operating on the Mumbai suburban network. With this, the cumulative number of suburban network networks in the Mumbai area will increase from the present 2,781 to 2,985.

“The Central Railway has now agreed to enhance the suburban services from the existing 1,580 to 1,685 services, and the Western Railway has decided to increase the existing 1,201 suburban services to 1,300 services with effect from Friday,” the CR and WR said in a joint statement.

In the wake of the coronavirus outbreak, suburban train services in the Mumbai area, considered the city’s lifeline, were halted at the end of March last year and eventually reopened in June.

The Central Railway used to run 1,774 services prior to the coronavirus-induced lockdown, while the Western Railway operated 1,367 services in the Mumbai area on the suburban network.

Only those approved by the Ministry of Railways and the State Government to travel by the suburban railways at many stages of unlocking would be able to use local train services. Others were advised not to run to the train stations.

Currently, in view of the coronavirus pandemic, suburban programs are limited to selected portions of commuters, including women, emergency and primary services workers, and attorneys. Last month, passengers with confirmed long-distance train tickets were also permitted to take the suburban locals of Mumbai.

In the joint declaration, the railway authorities have advised travelers to comply with all COVID-19-related protocols and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) during booking, travel, and destination.
