Festive Rush: Extra Coaches Added to Trains via Rewari
To manage the heavy influx of passengers during the upcoming festive season, the North Western Railway (NWR) has announced a temporary increase in the capacity of several trains passing through Rewari Junction. This move is designed to provide relief from overcrowding and ensure better seat availability for commuters during the holiday period.
According to Amit Sudarshan, the Chief Public Relations Officer (CPRO) of North Western Railway, the decision involves adding extra Second Sleeper (2S) and General class coaches to specific train services. This temporary arrangement aims to accommodate the surge in passenger numbers and make the journey more convenient.
Detailed Schedule of Additional Coaches
The railway has provided a specific breakdown of the trains receiving extra coaches and the duration of these arrangements:
- Ajmer-Amritsar-Ajmer (19611/19614 & 19613/19612): An extra Second Sleeper coach will be attached to these services. From Ajmer, the extra coach will be available from 17th October to 31st October. From Amritsar, the additional coach will run from 18th October to 1st November.
- Ajmer-Bandra Terminus-Ajmer (19625/19626): For a single trip, one extra Second Sleeper coach will be added, departing from Ajmer on 18th October and from Bandra Terminus on 19th October.
- Jodhpur-Indore-Jodhpur (14801/14802): This train, which is a vital link passing through Rewari Junction, will see a significant boost. Two extra Second Sleeper coaches and three additional General class coaches will be attached. This arrangement will be effective from Jodhpur from 16th to 31st October and from Indore until 3rd November.
Improving Passenger Comfort
The primary objective of this initiative is to enhance the traveling experience by reducing the rush in unreserved and sleeper compartments. By increasing the coach strength, the NWR hopes to facilitate a smoother journey for thousands of travelers during the peak festive season.
Passengers are advised to check the latest train schedules and coach availability through official railway channels or the IRCTC website before planning their journeys.
