Though suburban railway services had been cancelled between CST and Wadala Road stations, services from Wadala to Panvel were as per schedule. Services between Wadala Road to Andheri were also unaffected.

"Passengers were allowed to travel from CST to Kurla on the same tickets," PTI quoted Central Railway spokesperson AK Singh.

"A team of engineers and senior officials have rushed to the spot and efforts are on to restore services as soon as possible. Services are expected to resume at around 10.30 pm," he added.
