Indian Railways has approved a change in the stoppage pattern of the Gol Gumbaz Express, which will now bypass the main stations of Hubballi and Gadag in Karnataka. Instead, the train will halt at Hubballi South and Gadag Bypass stations, effective from a date to be announced.
Revised Stoppage Details
The decision, announced on 22 June 2026, comes as part of infrastructure upgrades and decongestion efforts at the main stations. Passengers traveling between these cities will need to board or alight at the new designated stops. The provision for stoppage at Hubballi South and Gadag Bypass is aimed at maintaining connectivity while reducing pressure on the main railway terminals.
Impact on Commuters
According to railway officials, the change is expected to affect daily commuters and long-distance travelers who rely on the Gol Gumbaz Express for routes connecting Bengaluru, Solapur, and other major cities. Local authorities have urged passengers to check revised schedules and plan their journeys accordingly. The move is part of a broader plan to modernize railway infrastructure in the region.
