A cracked railway track near Badlapur disrupted Central Railway traffic, delaying trains by up to 35 minutes. Several Karjat-Mumbai trains were cancelled, causing rush-hour chaos for commuters and office-goers.
Badlapur | July 30, 2025: Morning rush-hour on Central Railway turned chaotic after a crack was detected on the railway track between Vangani and Badlapur, severely affecting local train traffic and causing distress to thousands of commuters.
The disruption occurred when a railway fault was noticed near Badlapur early in the morning. As a result, local trains heading towards Karjat were delayed, and services between Kalyan and CSMT were running 15 minutes late on the slow line. However, fast trains are currently operating on time. In an emergency measure, passengers traveling from Karjat to Mumbai have been allowed to board Mail Express trains.
So far, four local trains and one express train have been delayed. Several local trains from Karjat to CSMT have been cancelled altogether. Due to the disruption, services heading to Mumbai are delayed by 30 to 35 minutes, causing a heavy rush at stations like Badlapur, Vangani, and Kalyan.
Repair work on the cracked track was launched immediately after the issue was discovered. Still, the disruption on the up-down line caused crowding, especially by office-goers attempting to reach Mumbai. Officials noted that full normalization of services may take time, and delays will likely continue for some time during the day.
