Eastern Railway is tearing down the old footover bridge at Park Circus station, starting from 10 PM on February 21 to 6 AM on February 22. This means no trains can run through during that time, leading to cancellations and short terminations. In Sealdah division, trains like 347 Up and Down Sealdah-Lakshmikantpur Local, 3547 Up and Down Sealdah-Canning Local are off the tracks. More than 15 trains are hit, including key locals for south Kolkata suburbs.

In Howrah division, power and traffic blocks between Sheoraphuli and Diara stations on the Tarakeshwar branch run from 11 AM to 9 PM on February 21. This cancels 32 trains total with down trains like 37302 Tarakeshwar-Howrah Local at 3:50 PM, 37304 at 4:35 PM and up trains like Howrah-Tarakeshwar Local at 5 AM. Routes are shortened for safety during work. Eastern Railway says these are for maintenance but commuters face chaos.

From research, similar blocks happened earlier – like South Eastern Railway cancelling trains for Feb 7-8 but Kolkata’s are specific to bridge demo. Sealdah-Bangaon lines see extra cancellations on Feb 21 for subway construction in Chandpara-Thakurnagar with four pairs fully out and others ending at Gobardanga.

Impact Analysis

Daily Riders: 5L+ affected – weekend buffer helps.

These train cancellations hit hard – daily commuters from Sealdah to Lakshmikantpur or Howrah to Tarakeshwar face delays, extra costs on cabs (up 20% during disruptions). Positively, it’s for safety – old bridges like Park Circus need fixes to avoid accidents. Economically, local businesses lose from less footfall and workers miss pay. Socially, X complaints show anger but some praise advance notice. Long-term, better infrastructure means smoother rides. But frequent blocks (like Adra in Feb) frustrate, pushing calls for night work to cut daytime chaos. Overall, it’s a bump for Kolkata’s rail users but essential for upgrades.

Conclusion

Kolkata train chaos Feb 21: Park Circus + Tarakeshwar works scrap 50+ services – check lists before station.
Infra upgrade worth pain.
