The special train will operate on selected dates in June and is expected to provide much-needed relief to long-distance travellers.

Passengers do not have to wait any longer to secure their seats.
Advance reservations for these special trains opened from the Southern Railway side at 8:00 AM yesterday.
Interested travellers can now book their tickets through authorized railway booking channels.

Relief for Long-Distance Travellers
The special service is expected to benefit a large number of passengers travelling to and from Kanpur, Tiruchchirappalli, and nearby regions.
During peak travel periods, many long-distance routes experience heavy demand, leading to long waiting lists.
By introducing these additional trains, Indian Railways aims to increase seat availability and provide a more comfortable travel experience.
For passengers struggling to find confirmed tickets on regular services, these special trains could be a welcome opportunity to plan their journey with greater ease.
