Local Western Railway (WR) rail services were disrupted due to signal loss at Churchgate in South Mumbai on Tuesday morning, according to railway officials.

A signal on the fast uphill line (towards Churchgate) generated a technical problem at 8:50 a.m., prompting authorities to divert trains on the slow uphill line for the next 30 minutes, a US official said. Western Railway said.
Rail services on the line resumed after the signal was restored at 9:22 a.m., the official said.
Western Railway operates commuter services between Churchgate (southern Mumbai) and Dahanu (in nearby Palghar) stations. Â
