I know this is not an official app but so many people depend on it. To get an idea to you how trains are running late I am sharing this. Thank you DRM Mumbai CR Central Railway Shashank Rao


Niraj Pandit DRM Mumbai CR Central Railway Shashank Rao Today also same thing. 12:33 CSMT fast at Thane is yet to arrive. Itās already 13:10! What sort of chain pulling is this? Everyday Mumbaikars suffer this delay. Ashwini Vaishnaw please tell your officers to run Suburban trains on time.

Fire gutted a fast food unit at the busy #Churchgate station of Western Railway. Fire started at around 5.15 pm and was doused by 5.40 pm. No injury reported. The subway leading to the platforms were shut and pax were diverted from the footpath outside. Hindustan Times


The 'incident' at #Mumbra, is not only tragic but also unheard of. Eight commuters fell off a moving train of which four of them lost their lives. Various theories are being investigated by a 5-member team of DRM Mumbai CR. ą¤®ą„ą¤ą¤¬ą¤ Mumbai Rail Pravasi Sangha HTMumbai Read below: hindustantimes.com/cities/mumbai-ā¦

Does the closing of level crossing gate at Diva, hold the key for improving punctuality of trains on Central Railway? Girders are placed over 10 rail lines here sans approach lanes. Opposition from locals & politicians is affecting completion of this ROB. hindustantimes.com/cities/mumbai-ā¦

Lack of TCs inside trains is a common complaint among commuters. Every time one sees a crowded train, we wonder how many might be travelling ticketless. From June 16, DRM Mumbai CR will deploy spl TC squads inside FC coaches. ą¤®ą„ą¤ą¤¬ą¤ Mumbai Rail Pravasi Sangha HTMumbai hindustantimes.com/cities/mumbai-ā¦


Big #Dharavi dream. A month after Rs 95000 cr worth master was unveiled, its first list of those 'eligible' to get homes in a redeveloped Dharavi is out. Of the 505 tenements of Meghwadi a - locality here - only 81 are unconditionally 'Eligible'. HTMumbai hindustantimes.com/cities/mumbai-ā¦


Heavy rush at Mumbai Metro stations. #Metro1 authorities said that "Train services were slightly delayed as one train was unable to achieve target speed and had to be withdrawn from service. However operations are continuous and normalized". Video courtesy: ANDHERI LOKHANDWALA OSHIWARA CITIZEN'S ASSOCIATION.

Why did you lie? DRM Mumbai CR GM Central Railway Central Railway Yesterdayās derailment near Nerul was not ātechnical glitchā but it was "derailment" a serious safety lapse that crippled Harbour Line for hours. Commuters deserve transparency, not cover-ups.Enough is enough. #MumbaiLocals
