New Delhi: In response to the increased passenger traffic, the Northern Railway Zone has announced the operation of 21 special trains, including the Vande Bharat Express. Amidst the cancellation of hundreds of IndiGo flights across the country and the steep increase in airfares, this announcement by the Railways may provide some relief to travelers.
The new special trains will connect several major cities, including Gorakhpur, Anand Vihar, Bareilly, Moradabad, Ambala, Jammu Tawi, Mumbai, New Delhi, Vadodara, Surat, Thiruvananthapuram, and Udhna. According to the Railways, these special trains will also provide connectivity to Howrah (West Bengal), Ernakulam (Kerala), Varanasi, Dhanbad (Jharkhand), Gurgaon, Ajmer (Rajasthan), Prayagraj, Chhapra (Bihar), and other major destinations.
Northern Railway has also released a list of these trains. Passengers wishing to travel on these routes can book tickets for these trains.
