Central Railway (CR) has resumed train services between Mumbai and Pune today. Operations restarted after workers cleared massive landslide debris near the Lonavala-Karjat section. Strict speed limits are now in place to ensure passenger safety. Commuters must check current schedules as work continues on the tracks. This restoration follows three days of heavy rain. CR aims to normalize traffic soon.
Iconic trains like the Deccan Queen and Sinhagad Express are now running. However, some long-distance services still follow diverted routes through Daund. Technical teams are monitoring the hillside stability to prevent new soil slips. Passengers should expect some delays due to these essential safety protocols. The railway staff is working hard to restore the full schedule today.

You can track live train locations using the National Train Enquiry System (NTES). Calling the 139 helpline provides the most accurate data on rescheduled departures. It is best to verify your train status before leaving for the station.

Road alternatives for diverted and cancelled Mumbai–Pune trains
Road travel provides a sturdy alternative for those facing train cancellations. The Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) has deployed extra Shivneri buses. These buses depart frequently from major points in Mumbai and Pune. While the Mumbai-Pune Expressway is open, heavy rain might slow down traffic. Commuters are opting for shared cabs to maintain their daily work schedules.
Passengers can claim full refunds for any fully cancelled train tickets. These requests are processed online through the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC). For counter tickets, visit any railway reservation office within three days. As the weather stabilizes, full service will resume across all tracks.
