New Delhi: In view of the rising rush in trains during Diwali and Chhath Puja, Northern Railway has decided to run additional unreserved special trains for the convenience of passengers. Passengers will not need a confirmed reserved ticket in advance to travel on these trains. They will be able to travel with unreserved tickets as per the prescribed rules. Railways operated two special trains from Delhi and Punjab to Bihar on November 9.
The first train, number 04568 Sirhind-Saharsa Unreserved Festival Special, departed from Sirhind at 2 pm on November 9. Its halts were fixed at Rajpura Junction, Ambala Cantt, Yamunanagar-Jagadhri and Saharanpur. After this, the train will reach Saharsa as per the scheduled route and halts of 14618/04528.
The second train, number 04456 Anand Vihar Terminal-Bhagalpur Unreserved Special, departed from Anand Vihar at 1:30 pm on November 9. It was operated on the route of the Vikramshila Express. Halts were scheduled at major stations en route, including Ghaziabad, Aligarh, Tundla, Kanpur Central, Prayagraj, Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya Junction, Buxar, Ara, Patna, Fatuha, Bakhtiyarpur, Mokama, Kiul, Jamalpur and Sultanganj.
Northern Railway has advised passengers to check the train date, time and halts on the National Train Enquiry System (NTES) before travelling. Information can also be obtained through the railway helpline number 139.
This arrangement by Railways is expected to provide relief especially to passengers who are unable to get reserved tickets on regular trains during the festivals.
