Western Railway Boosts AC Local Services: 12 New Trains from Jan 26

• Western Railway will introduce 12 additional AC local services starting January 26, increasing the total from 109 to 121 daily.
• The decision comes due to high passenger demand and increasing crowds, especially during peak office hours.
• On Saturdays and Sundays, the number of AC local services will rise from 65 to 77.
• The new services include 4 in the morning and 8 during evening peak hours, comprising 5 fast and 7 slow locals.
• Specific new routes and timings are detailed for both Up (towards Churchgate) and Down (from Churchgate) lines, connecting areas like Goregaon, Borivali, Virar, and Bhayandar.

Why It Matters: Western Railway is adding 12 new AC local services from January 26 to ease peak-hour crowding.
