Mumbai trains running late as signal panel catches fire
Late last night, the signal panel between Kurla and Vidyavihar caught fire. The fire was brought in control within 30 minutes, but has affected train services badly. Earlier, trains were running over an hour late. Train services were cancelled up to 3.30 am.
10.00 am update: Some of our friends have informed that since many train commuters are travelling by roads, some of the roads and highways are jam-packed. We would suggest that if some people can leave a bit late from home, say after 11.30 am, the congestion could be sorted.
8.40 am update: Central and Harbour line trains running around 35 - 50 minutes late.
Central line commuters are permitted to travel via Mahim-Churchgate route to reach their destination.
Services might be affected for a maximum of three days, as reported by railway authorities.
Mumbai-Pune Pragati Express cancelled.
Mumbai-Pune Singhgad Express cancelled.
Kurla-Manmad Godavari Express cancelled.
Manmad-Kurla Godavari Express cancelled.

Vashi Thane Local Train Time Table 2012
Here's the latest Vashi-Thane time table (trans-harbour railway line) effective from February 2012.
There are some changes in the schedule of trains in this time table as compared to the old one. I don't think they have done anything good with the timings. Look at the pathetic schedule after 8 pm!

FOB Delayed, Trains Delayed!
Location: Diva
Date: July 5, 2011
Incident: Protest by Commuters
Demand: To get an FOB constructed on time
Result: Trains delayed, FOB might still not be ready in time!
Commuters who want an important Foot-Over-Bridge (FOB) to be functional by August 31, protested at Diva Junction yesterday leaving the trains delayed in the morning. In the absence of an FOB directly leading to the east side of Diva station, commuters are left with no choice but to cross tracks. Need we mention that this is directly proportional to accidents!
CR officials have reportedly said that due to rains the FOB work cannot be completed until September end!

Badla at Badlapur station
The Pandharpur-Mumbai train was running late by four hours yesterday (June 13, 2011) and then it was made to halt near Badlapur station for more than an hour. Damn, we know how irritating it is when our trains halts mid-way for even a minute! Obviously, the passengers were irritated and they lost their temper when other trains passed by while their train was stationary.
Tumhaari train train, hamaari train fail???
Eventually, when a goods train started to pass, some furious passengers of the Pandharpur-Mumbai train got off and stopped it. Of course, they were 'successful' as the goods train had to be then diverted to another route and their train then started at around 9.15 am.
In the process what the passengers didn't realise was that their fury would result in a greater consequence... an unplanned badla: Tum hamaari train late karo, hum saari trains late karengey! Due to their protest and all the drama, local trains services on the central line were affected for the entire day. Reportedly, the suburban trains were running late by 10 minutes until evening!
So who is to blame?
The passengers? Well, imagine being stranded at a station for around 6 hours and being clueless.
The motorman? What could he do? We suppose he was just following orders or had to ensure that the local trains that carry thousands of passengers every minute don't get affected due to his train.
The rains? Seriously?
I think that proper announcements in the train would have helped. If the passengers had been continuously updated about the situation and informed why their train had to stop while others moved, perhaps they must have understood that the reason was genuine. They should not have been forced to keep guessing, right?

Harbour, Central line trains running late
And then people jump from trains!
It rained all night and as always in such situations the trains are running late today (June 11, 2011).
There was water logging on the tracks (4.30 pm update) near Kurla station. Trains in Central as well as Harbour line trains were seen queued up behind each other.
And then people started jumping off the trains. Why? Well with no accurate announcements in the trains, some clueless commuters jumped onto the tracks at Tilak Nagar to reach Kurla station. Others simply wanted to have a clearer view of the situation ahead! I know, you don't find this surprising... yeh toh hamesha ki baat hai. But we must understand that in such situations trains don't run as per schedule and we should not occupy the tracks as it can create unnecessary panic
I urge commuters to stay calm and not jump on tracks as it could be fatal.

Monsoon has arrived and we are loving the first showers. But soon we might start complaining of train delays due to rains.

This year, let's just enjoy the lovely season and hope that trains run smoothly this monsoon.
Let's take a look at what happened over the last two years as Rain Gods arrived and Train Gods played host:
