Commuters in a Churchgate-bound semi-fast local train were taken aback when it skipped a halt at Jogeshwari station early on Friday morning. The train, which had started from Borivli, was scheduled to stop at Jogeshwari at 10.40 am.

A senior railway official said that just before Jogeshwari, the train got diverted to the fast track, and that is what might have led to the confusion. By the time motorman Rajguru and guard R K Singh realised the goof-up, the train had already passed the platform. Confirming the incident, Western Railway's chief public relations officer Ravindra Bhakar said a departmental inquiry had been ordered.
