Attention Passengers! Several Train Routes to Change; Gomtinagar–Saharanpur Vande Bharat to Run Six Days a Week

Track repair work in the Varanasi division of the North Eastern Railway will impact the movement of several trains between 7 and 16 December. Meanwhile, the newly launched Gomtinagar–Saharanpur Vande Bharat Express will now operate six days a week starting 9 December, except on Mondays.

Multiple Trains Affected Due to Traffic Block

According to the North Eastern Railway, several trains will remain cancelled or diverted due to the traffic block imposed for essential track maintenance.

• 55056/55055 Gorakhpur–Chhapra–Gorakhpur Passenger will remain cancelled on 7, 10, 13, and 16 December.
• 04454 New Delhi–Mansi Special Train will operate via a diverted route — Gorakhpur Cantt, Kaptanganj, Thawe, and Siwan — on 6, 9, 12, and 15 December.
• From Gorakhpur, the 15048 Gorakhpur–Kolkata Express on 7 and 16 December, and the 14674 Amritsar–Jaynagar Express on 9 December will also run through the same diverted route.

These changes have been implemented due to ongoing track repair works in the Varanasi division.
