As devotees from Mumbai prepare for Ganesh Chaturthi, which falls on September 7 this year, the railways are stepping up to accommodate the surge in travel. To ease congestion and ensure a comfortable journey, the railways will introduce special trains. In addition to the Central Railway’s special train services, the Western Railway also announced new routes. Special trains will operate between Mumbai Central and Thokur, Mumbai Central and Sawantwadi Road, Bandra Terminus and Kudal, as well as Ahmedabad and Kudal. This expansion comes as a relief to travelers who have been unable to secure reservations on Central Railway’s special trains.
Passengers can now book their reservations on these additional Western Railway routes, providing more options for those heading to Konkan for the festive season.
