Northern Railway cancels 18 trains in Delhi NCR for track repair
Railway passengers travelling across the Delhi-NCR and Western Uttar Pradesh regions need to plan their journeys carefully as Northern Railway has announced the 10-day cancellation of 18 local and passenger train services. The disruptions will affect daily commuters and travellers passing through key regional hubs due to urgent infrastructure upgrades.
- Cancellation Period: September 25 to October 4, 2026.
- Reason: Maintenance and track repair work at Platform Number 4 of Ghaziabad Railway Station.
- Specific Exception: Train No. 64051 Palwal-Ghaziabad service will remain cancelled from September 24 to October 3, 2026.
- Affected Stations: New Delhi, Hazrat Nizamuddin, Delhi Junction, Palwal, Sahibabad, Meerut City, and Moradabad.
Reason Behind the Train Disruptions
The temporary halt in train operations is necessary to carry out essential maintenance and track repair work at Platform Number 4 of Ghaziabad Railway Station. Railway engineers will focus on the replacement of corroded rails and damaged sleepers to ensure long-term passenger safety and smoother train operations. These critical upgrades require a mandatory power and traffic block, which unfortunately restricts normal train movements in the busy corridor.
Impacted Routes and Passenger Advice
The sweeping cancellations will significantly impact connectivity to major destinations including New Delhi, Hazrat Nizamuddin, Delhi Junction, Palwal, Sahibabad, Meerut City, and Moradabad. Northern Railway has strongly advised all passengers intending to travel through Ghaziabad Railway Station to verify their train status and check for any platform or route changes prior to beginning their journeys to avoid any last-minute inconvenience at the station.
