Around 2pm, the engine of an outstation train, Suvidha Express, which was heading from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) to Patna, failed near Kasara railway station. The failure has not yet been fixed, and all Kasara-bound trains are terminating at Asangaon station currently.

Earlier, at 11.15am, the slow train corridor was affected owing to a technical failure at Matunga station. Trains were diverted on to the fast corridor and the failure was rectified quickly, but slow trains (both up and down) on the main line are still running 20 minutes behind schedule.
