Train Services Rescheduled and Diversified Due to Traffic Block at Domigarh Station

In light of ongoing infrastructure improvements, including a traffic block at Domigarh station and automatic signaling work on the Gorakhpur–Gonda section, several train services will be rescheduled, regulated, and diverted. These changes aim to enhance safety and efficiency on the railway network.

The traffic block is in effect between Kusmhi and Gorakhpur Cantt, covering a distance of approximately 14 kilometers, as well as a 7-kilometer stretch between Domingarh and Jagatbela. As a result, the following adjustments to train services have been implemented:

Passengers traveling on the affected routes are strongly encouraged to stay updated on the status of their trains. It is advisable to arrive at the station early to accommodate any changes in schedules.
