Indian Railways has announced the introduction of new festival special train services connecting Jaipur, Alwar, and Rewari to accommodate increased passenger traffic during the upcoming festive season. The special service is scheduled to commence operations this evening, providing much-needed connectivity between these key stations for holiday travellers. Here are the key details you need to know about the new festival special services and existing connectivity on this busy route:
- New festival special train services start this evening connecting Jaipur, Alwar, and Rewari.
- Regular daily options include 21 trains between Alwar and Rewari with travel times ranging from 1 hour 6 minutes to 2 hours 44 minutes.
- Around 22 trains operate between Alwar and Jaipur with 13 running daily and transit times between 1 hour 41 minutes and 2 hours 58 minutes.
- Historical precedent includes successful May 2023 services like the 09635/09636 daily specials that completed 37 trips.
Boosting Festive Connectivity
The special service is scheduled to commence operations this evening to provide seamless connectivity for passengers travelling between these key regional stations. With the festive rush leading to heavy demand on regular routes, this timely intervention by Indian Railways aims to ease passenger congestion and ensure comfortable journeys for families travelling home for the holidays. The initiative follows a successful precedent set in May 2023, when the North Western Railway operated daily special train services bearing numbers 09635 and 09636 between Jaipur and Rewari. That earlier service successfully completed 37 trips between May 25 and June 30, 2023, with convenient passenger halts at Bassi, Dausa, Bandikui, Rajgarh, and Alwar. The current festival special service is expected to provide similar relief and smooth out peak travel pressures.

While this new festive service caters to immediate seasonal demand, the region already maintains robust rail connectivity for daily commuters. As of August 27, 2026, there are approximately 21 daily train options between Alwar (AWR) and Rewari (RE). This includes popular services such as the GNC DLPC Express with train number 19411, offering flexible travel times ranging from 1 hour and 6 minutes to 2 hours and 44 minutes depending on the specific train schedule.
