Yesterday, I had a first-hand taste of being stuck in a suburban local train between Ghatkopar and Vikhroli stations on the Central Railway "slow line". It seems that there was a problem with "motor bush" and the train refused to move.
After waiting in the local for about 20 minutes, I clambered down and walked till I came across an opening in the boundary wall (courtesy of some slums) and then took an autorickshaw to my destination. A few trains had to line up behind the stalled train and there was a lot of confusion. However, when I went back from Kanjurmarg to Kurla in the late afternoon, there did not seem to be any problem (delays, etc.). So, I guess they might have fixed up the problem very soon.
