Indian Railways is deploying special trains extensively across high-demand routes and corridors to ease passenger flow and improve travel convenience during the peak summer period from April 15 to July 15, 2026.

The railways plan to operate 18,262 summer special train trips to enhance connectivity and reduce congestion. So far, 11,878 trains have been notified, with the remaining trains in the process of being notified for passenger benefit. This deployment is supported by improved rake availability, optimised scheduling, and continuous monitoring.

Efforts are underway to ensure smooth passenger movement at key station regions including New Delhi, Mumbai (LTT, CSMT, Pune), Surat (including Udhna), Ahmedabad, and Bangalore. Western Railway's proactive measures at Udhna station involve real-time crowd management, enhanced on-ground support, and efficient train operations, demonstrating how zonal initiatives contribute to a safe, convenient, and hassle-free travel experience.

Special attention has been given to passengers travelling to their hometowns, with improved on-ground arrangements to facilitate smooth boarding. In Train No. 19045 Udhna-Thave Tapti Ganga Express, RPF personnel assisted passengers in boarding safely and orderly, managing the entire boarding and seating process to maintain crowd control and ensure a smooth travel experience.

Indian Railways remains committed to ensuring seamless passenger mobility during peak travel periods through proactive planning and responsive operations. These measures highlight the effectiveness of targeted interventions in improving service delivery and providing smooth, safe, and hassle-free journeys during the summer rush.
