South-Central Railway to resume operation of unreserved trains from today
Unreserved train services will resume in the South-Central Railway (SCR) zone from Monday for the convenience of intra-state passengers. A railway zone official said, in line with the gradual and phased resumption of train services in the COVID pandemic, SCR will resume its unreserved train services, especially for the benefit of intra-state passengers.
These trains will be operated as express trains at par with unreserved express trains to cut down on travel time.
The railway zone undertook major track strengthening works in the last one year, which will now result in an increase in the maximum permissible speed at which trains can run.
He said, in order to pass on the benefit of these track enhancement works to the passengers in terms of shorter travel time, these trains will be operated as unreserved express train services.
Initially, 82 trains will resume operations on the entire network of SCR.
