MUMBAI: The Western Railway has decided to introduce eight additional air-conditioned (AC) services on the suburban Churchgate-Virar stretch from November 22.
With this, the total number of AC services will increase from 12 to 20. Out of these eight new services, four services are in the up and down directions each. Two of these services will run in the peak hours – one each in both the directions.
The first service for the day will leave from Virar for Churchgate at 8.33 am. The last service will leave from Churchgate at 8.27 pm for Nallasopara.
The introduction of the new services will lead to cancellation of two slow services between Churchgate and Bandra.
