Festival Special Trains: Northern Railways to run 195 special trains for Diwali, and Chhath, check details

Festival Special Trains: As the festive season approaches, Northern Railway is making significant preparations to ensure smooth travel for passengers during popular festivals like Diwali and Chhath. General Manager Ashok Kumar Verma announced that the railway will operate 195 special trains to accommodate the expected surge in passenger numbers.

In addition to the special services, regular train operations will see an increase, with 123 additional trips being added to the schedule. To further enhance passenger convenience, the number of reserved seats will be increased from 148,000 to 170,000, while unreserved seats will also see a rise from 41,000 to 54,000 compared to last year.

To effectively manage the anticipated crowd, key trains such as the Bihar Sampark Kranti, Sampoorna Kranti, and Vaishali Purushottam Express will now depart from Platform 16 at New Delhi Railway Station. This strategic move aims to streamline operations and reduce congestion during peak travel times.

Moreover, for the first time, a dedicated entrance for unreserved passengers has been constructed at Platform 16, ensuring safe and easy access for travelers.
