What's going on with Western Railway Bank Slip

A bank slip between Udvada and Pardi damaged the track section at kilometre 184/8–10, disrupting Western Railway services between Gujarat and Mumbai.

The Umbergaon Road–Valsad passenger train (69153) was cancelled due to the incident.

Long-distance trains including Ahmedabad–Bandra Terminus, Ahmedabad–Mumbai Central, Vadodara–Dahanu Road, Bhuj–Dadar, and Ajmer–Bandra Terminus were short-terminated or reversed from stations like Valsad, Navsari, Bhilad, and Surat.

The Borivali–Valsad passenger was short-terminated at Vapi, and the Mumbai Central–Vapi service was terminated at Gholvad before returning.

Western Railway advised passengers to check train status before travel and expressed regret for the inconvenience; restoration will follow after the track is made safe.

Heavy rain in the Vapi-Udwada section has led to regulated operations on Western Railway.

Waterlogging and disruptions affected rail services in parts of Maharashtra.

The Indian Meteorological Department has issued yellow, orange, and red alerts.

Railway authorities advised passengers to expect delays and monitor travel updates.
