To ease long waiting lists during the festive season, North Western Railway will temporarily attach 135 extra coaches to 48 pairs of trains passing through Rajasthan from October to November.
North Western Railway announced a temporary augmentation of its rolling stock on routes that traverse Rajasthan. Starting in October and continuing through November, the railway will add 135 additional coaches across 48 pairs of trains that operate in the region.
The move comes in response to a surge in passenger demand and growing waiting lists as the country celebrates major festivals such as Diwali and Navratri. By increasing capacity, the railway aims to reduce overcrowding and improve travel comfort for holiday‑bound commuters.
Railway officials described the measure as a short‑term solution, emphasizing that the extra coaches will be removed once the festive peak subsides. Passengers are advised to check reservation platforms for updated seat availability.
The decision underscores the railway’s broader effort to manage seasonal spikes in traffic without resorting to long‑term schedule changes, ensuring that the network remains responsive to fluctuating passenger volumes.
