To accommodate the higher number of passengers during the festive season, the Northern Railway is adding extra coaches to 69 existing trains. This will create an additional 5.5 lakh berths and seats, ensuring more passengers can travel comfortably.
Information about these special trains is easily accessible through the Northern Railway’s social media and inquiry offices.
Shobhan Chaudhuri, the General Manager of Northern Railway, believes that the additional arrangements will handle the increased demand. They will continuously monitor the situation and introduce more special trains if necessary to meet the demand.
To avoid long queues at booking counters, special ticket windows are being opened, and all existing windows will be operational. This makes it more convenient for passengers to book tickets.

Maintaining punctuality is a priority for the Northern Railway. Scheduled arrival and departure times will be adhered to as closely as possible to prevent delays due to other important trains.
Safety is paramount, and the Northern Railway is committed to ensuring passenger safety. To prevent accidents, railway staff and Railway Protection Force personnel will be deployed at vulnerable locations. Chaudhuri emphasizes the importance of people staying away from railway tracks during festivities, as trains cannot stop immediately, covering about one kilometer after the brakes are applied.
Good news for travelers heading home this festive season! The Northern Railway is running 34 special trains, making it easier to reach your destination. They have extra coaches, a wide range of destinations, and they’re dedicated to keeping you safe and on time. So, prepare for a great festive journey with the Northern Railway’s special trains.
