New Delhi: An important update related to railways has come out for the railway passengers travelling to Delhi. Amidst the fear of heavy traffic jam in the capital, Indian Railways has decided to cancel many mail and express trains. This change may impact those passengers who have planned to reach Delhi on October 9 and 10 or travel further from here. In such a situation, it is important for the passengers to check the status of their train before going to the station so that last minute problems can be avoided.
Which trains will be affected?
According to the Railways, mail and express trains leaving their originating stations after 2 pm on October 9 and reaching New Delhi or Hazrat Nizamuddin railway station between 4 am to 2 pm on October 10 will remain cancelled. Passengers travelling on trains arriving during this time period need to re-check their travel plans.
Why was the decision taken to cancel trains?
New Delhi and Hazrat Nizamuddin are among the major railway stations of the capital. A large number of travellers come and go here every day. This change in rail services has been made in view of the possibility of heavy traffic jams around both the stations. This may impact passenger movement and travel management amid potential road traffic conditions.
What things do passengers need to keep in mind?
This decision may especially cause trouble to those passengers who have to reach Delhi on time or have to catch another train from the capital. In case of train cancellation, further travel plans may also be affected. Therefore, passengers should confirm the status from the train number recorded on their ticket instead of guessing based on the route or date alone.
How to check train status before going to the station?
Passengers are advised to check the latest status of their train on the official information channels of Indian Railways or National Train Inquiry System (NTES) before leaving for the station. Related information can be obtained by entering the train number and date of journey.
Note: The scheduled time and station are important in the cancellation information. If your train is scheduled to depart after 2 pm on 9th October or reach New Delhi or Hazrat Nizamuddin between 4 am to 2 pm on 10th October, please confirm its status before travelling.
