Central Railway has decided to increase the number of AC locals on Main line (CSMT-Kalyan/Titwala /Ambarnath ) with reference to increasing passengers’ demand after slashing of fares by 50% w.e.f. 5.5.2022. AC local services presently running on Harbor line will run with normal non-AC rakes w.e.f. 14.5.2022. CR has also decided to run certain services on Sundays and Nominated Holidays also.
With the increase of 12 AC services on Main line (CSMT-Kalyan/Titwala /Badlapur) on weekdays the total AC services on Main line will increase from 44 to 56. However, there will be no increase in total number of services which will remain 1810 as at present.
Total number of AC services running on Main line on Sundays/nominated holidays will be 14 and the total number of services running of Main line on Sundays/nominated holidays will increase from 673 to 687.
