North Western Railway's Bikaner Division will add extra coaches to 15 express, superfast and unreserved trains during the Diwali and Chhath festivals to accommodate the surge in passenger demand.
North Western Railway’s Bikaner Division announced that it will attach additional coaches to 15 of its trains during the Diwali and Chhath festivals, a move aimed at easing the expected surge in passenger traffic.
The decision covers a mix of express, superfast and unreserved services that operate through the Bikaner region, ensuring that more seats are available for the large number of travelers who usually book tickets in advance for the holidays.
Railway officials said the extra coaches will be added for the duration of the festival period, after which normal coach configurations will resume.
The move is part of the division’s broader effort to improve passenger comfort and reduce overcrowding on key routes during peak holiday seasons.
