Indian Railways has revoked the superfast status for 18 trains, including Mahanagari Express and Jan Shatabdi. New train numbers are coming soon.
Indian Railways has announced that 18 trains lose superfast status following a major administrative decision to reclassify several prominent services. This move is part of a periodic review conducted by the railway authorities to better categorize train operations across the network.
Key Trains Affected by the Reclassification
The decision impacts a variety of well-known services that are essential to daily commuters. Among the major trains that will no longer carry the superfast branding are:
- Mahanagari Express
- Pragati Express
- Jan Shatabdi
- Tulsi Express
While these prominent names are among the first to be identified, a total of 18 services will undergo this change in designation.
New Train Numbers to be Assigned
The changes extend beyond just the service name. The railway administration has confirmed that as part of these operational adjustments, the train numbers for these 18 services will also be modified. Passengers should stay alert for updated numbering when checking schedules or booking tickets.
Implementation Timeline Pending
Although the decision to strip these trains of their superfast status has been finalized, the administration has not yet provided a specific timeline for when the changes will take effect. Further details regarding the implementation schedule and how these adjustments might impact passenger travel are expected to be released in subsequent official notifications.
