From September 15 to 25, Lines 2A, 7 and 9 Phase 1 start at 6:30 am. The morning shift supports Line 9 Phase‑2 integration and signalling tests. First trains from Andheri West, Dahisar East, Gundavali and Kashigaon move by 30 minutes. Commuters should adjust start times or choose alternates on these dates.
MMMOCL says the block creates a safe, non‑revenue window for software migration. Trials include signalling validation with the existing network from the Charkop Operations Control Centre (OCC). The start‑time change is restricted to mornings to limit disruption. Services resume normally after 6:30 am on the affected corridors. The speed‑trial software for Phase‑2 is now ready, enabling the next tests.
Mumbai Metro morning block: Lines 2A, 7 and 9 changes
First departures at Andheri West, Dahisar East, Gundavali and Kashigaon will leave at 6:30 am. Expect heavier loads on the first two trains at interchanges. DN Nagar and Andheri West, on Link Road, may see queues. Gundavali on Western Express Highway can be busy at opening time. Western Railway locals and BEST trunk buses along these corridors are reliable alternates. Add 20–30 minutes for office commutes and airport drops during this window.

For live updates, follow MMMOCL on X and check station displays before entry. If tests finish early or extend, these channels will confirm changes.
