If you’re planning to travel between Rajasthan and Delhi over the next two months, it’s important to check your train schedule before leaving for the station. Indian Railways has temporarily suspended the halt of 13 major trains at Delhi Cantt Railway Station for around 70 days due to ongoing redevelopment work.
The change affects several popular trains connecting Jodhpur, Jaipur, Ajmer, Barmer, Bikaner, Udaipur, Jaisalmer, Bhuj, Bandra Terminus, Varanasi, Kathgodam, and Delhi Sarai Rohilla.
Why Are These Trains Not Stopping at Delhi Cantt?
Indian Railways is carrying out a major redevelopment project at Delhi Cantt Railway Station to improve passenger facilities and modernize station infrastructure.
As part of the project, Platforms 2 and 3 are being upgraded, requiring a traffic block on the Delhi Sarai Rohilla–Rewari railway section. Because of this work, several trains passing through the route will skip their scheduled halt at Delhi Cantt Railway Station for approximately 70 days.
Railway officials have clarified that the trains will continue operating on their regular routes, but passengers will not be able to board or deboard at Delhi Cantt during the affected period.
