Mandore Express: Extra AC Coaches Added for Jodhpur-Delhi Travel
North Western Railway adds extra AC coaches to the Mandore Express to reduce waitlists for Jodhpur and Delhi passengers.
The North Western Railway (NWR) has announced that the Mandore Express will now feature extra coaches to accommodate the rising number of travelers. This move is designed to provide significant relief to passengers traveling between Jodhpur and Delhi, especially those struggling with long waiting lists.
Relief for Passengers Facing Long Waitlists
The decision to increase the train's capacity comes as a direct response to the growing passenger traffic on this route. To manage the heavy demand during peak travel periods—including summer holidays and festive rushes—the railway authority has implemented measures to augment the train's composition. By adding more air-conditioned coaches, the NWR aims to reduce the pressure on seat availability and ensure smoother travel for commuters in both directions.
Details of the Additional Coaches
According to Shri Amit Sudarshan, the Chief Public Relations Officer (CPRO) of NWR, the augmentation is a strategic move to cater to passenger comfort. The additional capacity being introduced includes:
- One Second AC coach
- One Third AC Economy class coach
This addition allows the railway to address the high demand for air-conditioned travel while specifically targeting the need for more economy-class options.
Strategic Capacity Management
The NWR has demonstrated a consistent strategy of using temporary coach additions to handle high passenger volumes across its network. Historical data from 2026 shows that these adjustments are timed to coincide with major travel surges. For instance, in May 2026, extra coaches were deployed to manage the summer demand through the end of the month.
Similarly, during the October 2026 festive period, the railway provided additional capacity for trains departing from Jodhpur between October 10 and October 16, and for those departing from Delhi between October 11 and October 17. These proactive adjustments remain a key part of the North Western Railway's plan to manage seasonal travel spikes effectively.
