Train passengers planning to travel between Bilaspur and Tatanagar need to check their schedules as the South Eastern Railway has announced the complete cancellation of the Bilaspur-Tatanagar-Bilaspur Express (train numbers 18114/18113) for a period of three days. The train service will remain suspended from September 19 to September 21, 2026, in both directions to accommodate crucial infrastructure enhancement projects on the network.
- Train numbers 18114 and 18113 cancelled from September 19 to September 21, 2026.
- Disruption caused by pre-Non-Interlocking and Non-Interlocking work at Birrajpur station.
- Operations managed by the Chakradharpur Division to improve safety and upgrade tracks.
- Passengers must verify updated train schedules before heading to the railway station.
Railway authorities have confirmed that the temporary disruption is essential to facilitate pre-Non-Interlocking (NI) and Non-Interlocking (NI) work at
Birrajpur station. This station comes under the administrative control of the
Chakradharpur Division, which is actively overseeing the infrastructure project. The modernization drive aims to upgrade railway lines, signal systems, and overall technology to enhance operational safety and punctuality across the network in the long run.
This specific cancellation is part of a broader series of service modifications and temporary disruptions within the Chakradharpur Division, where multiple train services are impacted by scheduled maintenance works running between
September 19 and September 23, 2026. Commuters and regular travellers are strongly advised to check their specific train status through the official IRCTC portal or National Train Enquiry System (NTES) before departing for the station to avoid unnecessary travel inconvenience.
