NW Railway Launches Special Festival Trains, Extends Routes and Timings in Rajasthan

North Western Railway (NWR) has announced the launch of special trains for the upcoming festivals, along with changes to routes and an extension of operating hours across its network in Rajasthan. The decision comes after a sharp rise in passenger numbers during the festive season, prompting the railway authorities to enhance capacity and improve connectivity. The new schedule will see additional trains running on key routes such as Jaipur–Jodhpur, Jaipur–Udaipur, and Jodhpur–Bikaner, with some services extended to accommodate late‑night and early‑morning travelers. Railway officials expect the changes to ease congestion, reduce waiting times and provide a smoother travel experience for millions of passengers heading to religious and cultural events across the state.
