Indian Railways has introduced weekly special services connecting Sikar with Patna and Kota to manage growing passenger demand.
Indian Railways has started weekly special trains linking Sikar in Rajasthan with Patna in Bihar and Kota in Rajasthan. The additional services are aimed at relieving the heavy passenger load that peaks during festive seasons and school holidays.
The trains will operate once a week on each route, with departure timings to be confirmed by the North Western Railway zone. Seats and berths are being made available through the regular ticket‑booking platforms.
Railway officials said the move is part of a broader strategy to augment capacity on high‑demand corridors without requiring new permanent services. Passengers are advised to book early as the special trains are expected to fill quickly.
The introduction of these services reflects the railways' ongoing effort to improve connectivity for travelers from the semi‑urban hub of Sikar to major destinations like Patna and the industrial city of Kota.
