The Ministry of Railways has cleared four new train services, extended three existing routes and added new stoppages to twelve trains across the network.
The Ministry of Railways issued a formal notification approving the introduction of four new train services. The decision forms part of the railways' ongoing plan to expand capacity and improve connectivity across the country.
In addition to the new services, three existing train routes have been extended to cover longer distances, allowing passengers to travel further without changing trains. The extensions are expected to benefit commuters on busy corridors.
The railway board also approved the addition of new stoppages to twelve trains, enhancing access for smaller towns and regional hubs. These changes will be reflected in the upcoming timetable revisions slated for release later this month.
