Special Halts
Slow Up Trains Not To Halt At Charni Road during this Period.

Normally, during evening peak hours, these services do not halt between Mumbai Central and Churchgate.
However, in order to reduce congestion at platforms, all UP slow line trains, between 17.00 hrs to 22:00 hrs. going towards Churchgate will NOT halt at PF No. 2 of Charni Road station. Hence, there will be no train available during this period from Platform No. 2 at Charni Road station.
