The trains that start from their points of origin before the midnight of October 31 will follow the monsoon schedule; and the trains that depart after midnight on November 1 from any station, but use the tracks of Konkan Railway will follow the revised schedules. 

Commuters can use the All India Railway Timetable - Trains at a Glance 2008 - 09, which is published and sold by Indian Railways. The relevant details can be found on pages 148 and 149 or table number 26 and pages 150 and 151 or table number 26A.
