“Due to a technical problem at Point number 101/102 at Borivali on Up Local Line and Down local line, suburban train services are running late by 15-20 minutes,” said a WR official.

The snag occurred early this morning just around 6am or so, leading to a delay in suburban train services. The issue was rectified by 6.52am, but the residual effects continue to impact the system.

Passengers have lamented that the trains are as late as 30 minutes, and have complained about it on the social media as well.
