A local train was diverted onto the wrong route due to a signal error outside CSMT station in Mumbai on Tuesday (April 21, 2026) afternoon, deviating to a different platform than intended and came to a halt some distance away from another train, officials said.
The incident affected services on the main line of Central Railway, causing delays.
A senior official said a Badlapur train was mistakenly given the signal to proceed to platform number 5 of the busy station instead of platform number 4.
"As a result, the train entered the incorrect route and stopped about 270 metres away from another suburban train that was already on the platform," he said.
Central Railway's Chief Public Relations Officer, Swapnil Nila, said the train halted two signals away from the platform.
