The first Kasara-bound local, which had departed around 4.30 am, was stranded between stations and remained halted until approximately 5.25 am.The disruption subsequently affected following services on the route, resulting in regulation and delay of multiple suburban trains between Kasara and Kalyan.Officials said train operations were gradually restored after railway staff attended to the fault and rectified the power supply issue. Services resumed in phases and normal movement was restored by around 6 am, though some trains continued to run behind schedule due to cascading delays on the section.“Railway staff attended the fault immediately and restoration work was undertaken on priority. Services were gradually normalised after the issue was rectified, though some trains experienced delays due to the cascading impact on operations,” a senior Central Railway official said.The disruption led to inconvenience for morning commuters travelling towards Kalyan and Mumbai, with passengers reporting delays and crowding at stations including Asangaon, Khadavli, Titwala and Kalyan.The incident occurred hours before Central Railway’s scheduled Sunday mega block on its suburban network.
