South Western Railway (SWR) has announced the cancellation of two trains and the partial cancellation of six others on June 8, 2026, due to operational reasons. This decision is expected to affect commuters traveling on these routes.
Details of Cancelled Trains
The following trains will be fully cancelled on June 8:
- Train 20623 Ashokapuram-KSR Bengaluru Express: This train, which runs from Ashokapuram to KSR Bengaluru, will not operate on the specified date.
- Train 20624 KSR Bengaluru-Ashokapuram Express: The return service from KSR Bengaluru to Ashokapuram will also remain cancelled.
Partial Cancellations
In addition to the full cancellations, six other trains will experience partial cancellations, meaning they will run only on a portion of their regular routes. SWR has advised passengers to check the revised schedules before traveling. The specific trains affected are yet to be detailed by the railway authorities.
Advice for Commuters
Passengers holding tickets for the cancelled trains are eligible for full refunds. SWR recommends that travelers plan their journeys accordingly and stay updated through official railway announcements or the IRCTC website. The cancellation is part of routine operational adjustments, and no further disruptions are anticipated beyond June 8.
This development comes amid ongoing efforts by Indian Railways to optimize services and ensure safety. Commuters are urged to remain patient and cooperate with railway staff at stations.
