Central Railway block on Nov 13 and 14 nights to halt Khardi-Kasara locals, delay mail and express trains

Commuters on the Kasara route will have to plan carefully on the nights of November 13 and 14. Central Railway has announced special blocks on both nights for work on the Asangaon-Kasara third line and for extending a line in the up yard at Kasara station. Local train services between Kasara and Khardi will remain suspended for a time because of the block.

The block will run from 11.10 pm to 1.40 am on the up main line and the third line between Khardi and Kasara. Local services between Khardi and Kasara will be suspended during the block on both nights. Some local trips will run only up to Asangaon and Khardi and will not go beyond to Kasara.

Local timings will also change. On November 13 and 14, the last local from CSMT to Kasara will leave at 8.44 pm. After that, locals bound for Kasara from 9.32 pm will run only up to Asangaon. The 11.05 pm CSMT-Kasara local will be held at Khardi and will proceed towards Kasara once the block is over.

In the opposite direction, the last local from Kasara to CSMT will leave at 10 pm. After the block ends, the first local from Kasara to CSMT will leave at 3.51 am on November 14 and 15.

The work will also affect long-distance trains. Some mail and express trains will run 20 to 25 minutes late or will be cancelled. Ten mail and express trains going in the down direction will be held at Kasara station for 20 to 25 minutes because of the block.

On the night of November 13 and 14, the LTT-Subedarganj Amrit Bharat Express and the LTT-Bhubaneswar Express will be regulated.
