Indian Railways modifies Ramnagar Express services for Chandigarh station work

Indian Railways has announced temporary service adjustments for the Ramnagar Express due to essential interlocking and infrastructure work at the Chandigarh railway station. Passengers planning to travel on this route over the coming weeks should note these operational changes to avoid inconvenience. Mahesh Yadav, Senior DCM of the Moradabad Division, confirmed that about 30 trains will be affected during this period. The infrastructure project requires a power and traffic block that will remain in effect from September 10 through October 15, 2026. Key details of the service changes include short-termination and partial cancellation of popular trains connecting Ramnagar and Chandigarh via the Yamunanagar-Jagadhri route. Travellers are strongly advised to check their updated train schedules before heading to the station.

Impact on Ramnagar Express Services

The infrastructure upgrade at Chandigarh station directly impacts two major train services. The 15063 Ramnagar-Chandigarh Express will be short-terminated at Ambala Cantt on September 14, 21, and 28, and October 5 and 12, 2026. This means the train will not complete its journey to Chandigarh on these specific dates. Similarly, the return service, the 15064 Chandigarh-Ramnagar Express, will originate from Ambala Cantt instead of Chandigarh on September 14, 21, and 28, and October 5 and 12, 2026.

Advice for Passengers

Railway authorities have urged all passengers holding tickets for the affected dates on the Yamunanagar-Jagadhri route to verify their updated schedules in advance. While these block works are crucial for long-term safety and infrastructure enhancement, checking train status via NTES or the IRCTC portal helps passengers plan alternative transport from Ambala Cantt if necessary.
