Western Railway has announced a 4-hour block scheduled for December 12 and 13. This block is for the replacement of steel girders with PSC slabs on a bridge between Maroli and Sachin Yard in the Valsad-Surat section.
On Tuesday, December 12, the block will be in place from 11:50 AM to 3:50 PM, followed by a continuation on Wednesday, December 13, from 10:30 AM to 2:30 PM. The necessary adjustments for this operation will result in the rescheduling and regulation of multiple Western Railway trains.

"This block is a necessary step for infrastructure improvement but may inconvenience travellers, emphasising the importance of staying informed about adjusted schedules during this period," said an official of WR.
