A technical fault in the engine of the Ajmer-Bandra Terminus Special Superfast train caused major disruption to Western Railway’s suburban services on Sunday, leading to delays and inconvenience for hundreds of commuters.
Train Halted At Bhayander Station
According to reports, the train stopped at Bhayander station on platform number 6 around 11:51 a.m. after its engine developed a fault. A technical team was promptly deployed, and it took nearly an hour to repair the issue. The train was later able to resume its journey toward Bandra Terminus.
Suburban Services Affected
The engine failure disrupted up fast local train services, forcing them to be diverted to the slow line.
One up fast local train was stranded at the outer signal of Bhayander station for nearly 30 minutes, causing a major inconvenience. Some frustrated passengers reportedly walked on the tracks due to the prolonged delay.
