Heavy rains threw normal life in Mumbai out of gear on Friday, with most local train services cancelled and a few flights diverted to nearby airports. In the early hours, thousands of commuters leaving for offices were caught unawares on reaching the suburban railway stations as trains were cancelled due to water-logging of tracks following heavy overnight rain. Services on all three railway lines--Central, Western and Harbour were cancelled, and harried commuters rushed to catch buses, taxis or any other mode of transport available to reach their destinations, which resulted in massive traffic jams at many places. With Central Railway cancelling its services on CST-Thane section on the main line and Harbour line as well, commuters got stuck at suburban platforms. The Western Railway services which were initially running late by 10 to 15 minutes, were later cancelled.
