Similarly, all Down Slow line trains will run on the Down Fast line from Andheri, and these trains will be managed at Platform No. 7 of Goregaon station.

Between Goregaon and Borivali stations, all Down Slow line trains will run on the 5th line, and due to the unavailability of platforms, these trains will not halt at Ram Mandir, Malad, and Kandivali stations.
