Comprehensive Train Schedule for Smooth Diwali Travel
The newly announced special trains will connect key destinations across North India with major Bihar hubs, ensuring that families can reunite for the Festival of Lights without the usual travel hassles. The detailed schedule includes multiple trips between critical routes to maximize convenience for passengers.
Key Routes and Frequency
Among the highlighted services are regular special trains operating between Anand Vihar Terminal and Darbhanga, providing direct connectivity to one of Bihar's most important cultural centers. Additional services will connect Delhi with Saharsa and other crucial Bihar destinations, offering multiple departure options throughout the festive period.
Enhanced Capacity for Peak Travel Season
Northern Railway officials emphasized that these additional services represent a calculated response to historical passenger patterns during Diwali. "We've analyzed previous years' data and planned these services to ensure maximum coverage during the peak travel window," stated a senior railway official.
The special trains will feature standard sleeper class accommodations and will be operational from early November through the third week of the month, covering both pre and post-Diwali travel demand.
