Western Railway (WR) has started a major mega block on the Udhna–Jalgaon section today. This vital maintenance work will disrupt train services between Mumbai, Surat, and Jalgaon until May 16. Frequent travellers on these busy routes should prepare for sudden cancellations and revised timings this week.
The three-day infrastructure project focuses on improving track safety and overall operational efficiency. This block mainly affects passenger and express trains running on the Surat–Nandurbar–Jalgaon corridor. Check the National Train Enquiry System (NTES) for your specific train status before leaving for the station.
Impacts of the Udhna–Jalgaon Mega Block
Several key services face total cancellation or short-termination due to the ongoing track work. Local trains and intercity expresses connecting Mumbai to South Gujarat are heavily impacted today. These changes will cause a heavy rush on available trains as commuters seek alternative transport options.
| Train Name | Current Status |
|---|---|
| Surat–Bhusaval Passenger | Fully Cancelled |
| Nandurbar–Surat MEMU | Short Terminated |
| Bhusaval–Surat Express | Partially Cancelled |
Railway authorities have also announced diversions for some long-distance trains to avoid the block site. These diverted trains might take longer routes, leading to delays of several hours. Passengers are advised to carry enough food and water for these extended travel periods today.
To help stranded passengers, WR has deployed additional staff at help desks in major stations. Commuters can also use the Yatri mobile application to track live train movements and delays. Using these helpful tools makes navigating the current traffic disruptions much easier for everyone.
