Passengers planning travel on the Delhi-Jaisalmer Runicha Express should take note of a significant route adjustment affecting services between August and September 2026. Due to critical infrastructure development, the North Western Railway has announced that Train number 14087 and 14088 will operate on a diverted route for a total of 44 trips. This temporary change is essential to facilitate non-interlocking block work related to the ongoing track doubling project on the Phulera-Ringas-Rewari section.
- Affected Trains: Runicha Express (14087 Delhi-Jaisalmer and 14088 Jaisalmer-Delhi).
- Effective Dates: August 12 to September 24, 2026.
- Reason: Track doubling project and non-interlocking work between Kund, Pali, and Khori stations.
- Key Change: The train will bypass the Rewari-Ringas-Phulera segment.
New Diversion Details
During this period, the Runicha Express will bypass the Ringas station entirely to ensure the safety and progress of the track doubling work. Instead of its regular path, the train will be rerouted via Rewari, Alwar, Bandikui, Dausa, Gandhinagar Jaipur, Jaipur, and Phulera, before resuming its standard journey to Jaisalmer.
The official announcement was made by Mr. Hitesh Yadav, Senior Divisional Commercial Manager of the North Western Railway, Jodhpur Division. This diversion is part of a larger effort to enhance rail infrastructure and improve capacity in the region. Passengers are advised to check their updated schedules and plan their travel accordingly, as the change in route may slightly alter arrival and departure timings at stations along the diverted path.
Indian Railways emphasizes that these infrastructure upgrades are necessary to improve the long-term reliability and speed of train services on this busy corridor. Passengers holding tickets for the affected dates are encouraged to stay updated through official IRCTC channels or by contacting railway enquiry services to ensure a smooth journey despite these necessary operational adjustments.
