Mumbai's Central and Western Railway systems experienced service delays on Saturday evening due to two separate incidents. First, the Koyna Express (11030) on the Central Railway's Up Main Line near Karjat was halted for 10 minutes due to a brake problem in the rear coach. Railway staff assessed the issue and the train resumed on time.
Second, Western Railway's suburban services were impacted after a trespassing incident near Platform No. 2 at Borivali station. Approaching trains were temporarily regulated for safety, causing bunching between Malad and Borivali. While train movement returned to normal after the trespassing was cleared, the disruptions lingered into the evening.
For instance, a Churchgate-bound local train that was supposed to arrive at 5:15 PM arrived on time but lingered at the platform until 5:30 PM while waiting for clearance. Another local train behind it, originally scheduled for 5:18 PM, was delayed and arrived at the platform at 5:33 PM.
