Passengers planning travel through the Bikaner division between October 14 and October 17, 2026, should take note of significant service adjustments. The North Western Railway has scheduled essential infrastructure work to facilitate the construction of a Road Under Bridge (RUB) at level crossing number 98, situated between Kanina Khas and Mahendragarh stations. These modifications are necessary to enhance safety and connectivity, though they will temporarily affect regular train operations.
Key updates for passengers include:
- Full Cancellation: Rewari-Bikaner Express (54789) and Bikaner-Rewari Express (54790).
- Partial Cancellations: Sikar-Rewari Express (54803) terminates at Loharu on Oct 14; Rewari-Jodhpur Express (14824) starts from Loharu on Oct 14.
- Diversions: Five trains, including the Shri Ganganagar-Tilak Bridge Express (14727) and Delhi Sarai-Sikar Express (14717), will follow alternative routes.
- Rescheduled Departure: Delhi Sarai-Bikaner Express (22472) will be delayed by one hour on October 14.
Impact on Train Services and Routes
During this four-day window, the infrastructure project will necessitate the complete cancellation of the Rewari-Bikaner Express (54789) and the Bikaner-Rewari Express (54790). Travelers relying on these specific services are advised to make alternative arrangements. Furthermore, the Sikar-Rewari Express (54803) will be short-terminated at Loharu on October 14, while the Rewari-Jodhpur Express (14824) will commence its journey from Loharu instead of its usual starting point at Rewari on the same date.
Diversions and Operational Changes
Railway authorities have confirmed that five trains will be diverted to alternative routes, which will include scheduled halts at different stations to accommodate passengers. Notably, the Delhi Sarai-Sikar (14717) and Delhi Sarai-Jodhpur Express (22421) will be diverted via Neemkathana, a change expected to provide better connectivity for local commuters in that region. Other affected services include the Shri Ganganagar-Tilak Bridge Express (14727), as well as the Hisar-Delhi (54310) and Delhi-Hisar (54309) passenger trains.
Additionally, the Delhi Sarai-Bikaner Express (22472) will experience a one-hour delay in its departure schedule on October 14. As these changes are time-sensitive, the railway administration strongly urges all passengers to check their specific train status via the official NTES app or the IRCTC website before heading to the station to avoid any last-minute travel inconvenience.
