Central Railway has intensified its action against unauthorised and irregular travel on trains running on the line. The Mumbai Division’s ticket checking teams detected 9.63 lakh passengers travelling without tickets, with invalid tickets or with unbooked luggage between April and October 2025, recovering Rs 40.59 crore in penalties, an official statement said on Sunday.

An official statement said that special checks are regularly carried out on Mail and Express trains, as well as on AC and non-AC suburban trains, to curb ticketless travel and ensure comfort and safety for genuine passengers.
