Due to continued heavy rains in Mumbai and Raigad since early Monday morning, several trains between Pune and Mumbai have been cancelled.

Heavy rains caused flooding between Khadavli-Titwala in Kalyan and Kasara section of Mumbai division, leading to cancellation of trains, officials said.

According to a press release issued by Central Railways, four trains running from Pune to Mumbai have been cancelled. These are the Pune-Mumbai Sinhagad Express, Pune-Mumbai Deccan Queen Express, Pune-Mumbai Deccan Express and Pune-Mumbai Intercity Express.

Similarly, four trains connecting Mumbai to Pune have also been cancelled: Mumbai-Pune Sinhagad Express, Mumbai-Pune Intercity Express, Mumbai-Pune Deccan Queen Express and Mumbai-Pune Deccan Express

The cancellation of the trains has caused some disappointment among passengers.

“I had an important meeting with one of my clients in Mumbai and had booked a ticket for the Deccan Queen train. But I had to cancel the meeting,” said Satish Kedari, a businessman from Pune.
