A day after services on the Central main line were disrupted for nearly 45 minutes after a CST-bound train developed a technical snag, resulting in trains running 20 minutes late during morning peak hours, a rail fracture between Khadavali and Vashind disrupted services on the Kasara-Titwala route on Friday morning. It took authorities nearly 40 minutes to fix the fracture after it was spotted around 7.30 am, owing to which two express trains and a local train got delayed.

“Local trains are running on time now. The services were affected for 30 minutes,” said an officer from Vashind railway station.
