Impact on Passengers

With a large number of trains being cancelled passengers traveling on these routes should make alternative arrangements. The unavailability of local trains may cause increased demand for buses and private vehicles, leading to congestion.

Advice for Passengers

- Plan your journey in advance.

- Check official railway websites or station announcements for updates.

- Consider using alternative routes or public transport.

- Arrive early at stations to avoid last-minute hassles.

The train cancellations on February 15th and 16th may cause difficulties for commuters but the maintenance work is essential for infrastructure safety. Eastern Railway assures that services will resume normally after the scheduled work. Travelers should stay updated and plan accordingly.
