Train services are facing major delays because of thick fog in many areas. Passengers are struggling as trains that should arrive in the morning are reaching during the afternoon or evening.
Many trains, including regular and special ones, are running late. People have been complaining on social media about the inconvenience caused by these delays. On Wednesday, trains like Vande Bharat and Bhagalpur were reported to be running late.

For example, the Bhagalpur-Anand Vihar train was 16 hours late, while others like Vande Bharat and various express trains faced delays between 2 to 13 hours. Passengers are frustrated, as they cannot reach their destinations on time.
In response to the ongoing situation, the railway is also introducing new special train services. One such service will run weekly from Kanpur Central to Lokmanya Tilak Terminal starting in December, aimed at easing passenger travel during this busy season.
Summary:

- Special trains are being introduced to manage the passenger load.
- Fares for special trains are higher than regular ones.
