Heavy rains in Mumbai have forced cancellation of several trains including Mumbai-Ahmedabad Shatabdi Express.
The Mumbai-Ahmedabad Shatabdi Express was cancelled for the second consecutive day on Wednesday due to water-logging in Mumbai after heavy rainfall in the city.

Besides the Shatabdi Express, a few other trains have also been cancelled due to water-logging on tracks.
"Trains are running on restricted speed only between Churchgate - Bhayander section. Further, positions of trains may change, depending upon the weather conditions," DRM WR Mumbai Central (@drmbct) said in a tweet.
