Indian Railways Adjusts Services for Doubling Work
Indian Railways has changed some train schedules because they are doing important work to make the tracks better.
This work is happening between Aliyabad and Jamnagar.
Because of this, some trains will not run fully, some will start from different places, and some will end early.
There are also a few trains that will leave later than usual.
Passengers are being told to check the latest train times before they travel.
The changes affect trains going to places like Tirunelveli, Ernakulam Junction, and Thiruvananthapuram North.
The railway is doing this to make sure the trains run better in the future, even though it might be a bit inconvenient for some people right now.
Indian Railways revised train services due to doubling work on the Aliyabad-Hapa-Jamnagar section.
Affected trains include Jamnagar-Tirunelveli Express, Okha-Ernakulam Junction Express, Tirunelveli-Jamnagar Express, and Ernakulam Junction-Okha Express.
Changes include partial cancellations, changes in train origination, short terminations, rescheduling, and regulation of services.
