The Titwala-CSMT train derailed on platform number 2 at 9 pm
Mumbai:
A suburban train derailed on Friday at Kalyan station in Thane district, some 60 kilometres from Mumbai, while entering a platform. There was no report of anyone getting injured, an official said.
The Titwala-CSMT train derailed on platform number 2 at 9 pm, leading to disruptions on the mainline, he said.
“There is no report of injury to anyone. The rear coach derailed when the train was at slow speed since it was about to halt at platform number 2,” Central Railway chief public relations officer Swapnil Nila said.
In a message on X, Central Railway’s Mumbai division officer said, “Due to technical issue, mainline services are running behind schedule. Inconvenience is regretted.”
Kalyan is one of Central Railway’s busiest junctions and is a major halt for suburban and long distance trains.
On Sunday last, a train derailed just outside the EMU Carshed at Western Railway’s Mumbai Central station. It led to cancellation of several suburban trains since the down slow line was infringed by the derailed coaches.
