However, slow local train services were affected with 10 minutes delay.

“All slow trains were running late by 10 to 15 minutes even at 11am when I left for work. There was crowding at stations due to this,” said Ajay Patil, 39, who took a slow local train from Kalyan railway station to Thane.

“Due to the technical error the trains were running late by 10 minutes on slow line due to bunching of trains at Thane station. Announcements were made to inform the commuters at platforms,” said an officer of Thane railway station who did not wish to be named.
