MUMBAI : There will be rail block during daytime today over Western Railway suburban section and this will be relief to commuters travelling by local trains.Earlier, between 1 am and 4.30 am on Sunday, the WR operated a block on the Up and Down slow lines between Mahim and Santacruz stations for maintenance of track, signalling systems and overhead equipment.An official said that during the block period all Down slow line trains were operated on the Down fast line between Mumbai Central and Santacruz stations. Due to inadequate platform length, these trains will halt twice at Lower Parel, Mahim and Khar Road stations and will not halt at Mahalaxmi, Prabhadevi and Matunga Road stations for want of platform. Also, some suburban services will remain cancelled during the block period.
