All trains from Virar/Vasai/By run late by 10-15 min during peak hours in both directions. Reason is crossing of Borivali semi fast local at Andheri in morning as well as evening and Goregaon Semi fast local originating in the morning. WR earlier tried to remove the stop of Goregaon originating local at Jogeshwari and situation had improved at that time but people of Jogeshwari staged protests and WR had to rollback that decision. However since now all the Andheri slow local from Churchgate extended upto Goregaon after extension of harbour line, there are lot of extra services available to Goregaon/Jogeshwari pax and WR should now remove Goregaon semi fast local to remove the bottleneck. Anyways, Goregaon local remains relatively empty nowadays which means not many passengers are dependent on it. Once the 5th and 6th lines are extended upto Borivali, then even the Malad starting semi fast locals should be scrapped.
It is very easy to say scrap Goregaon/Malad locals to accommodate Virar locals but the harsh reality is Virar/Vasai have already received a lot of services at the cost of Goregaon/Malad passengers. Until couple of years back, ample BVI-CCG semi fast services were available from GMN/MDD stations, however to give a clear path to VR locals, most of these services have been downgraded to slow services. So much so that even during morning peak hours, the frequency of fast services at these stations is pathetic especially between 9 & 10 AM.
Further GMN/MDD semifast locals are delayed on a daily basis due to late running of Virar/Vasai locals leading to reduced patronage. Late running VR locals also impact BVI semi fast locals...
