# 22 trains cancelled, 23 diverted in Bhopal division in October 2026-10-02T18:22:35+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Train services in the Bhopal railway division will be affected through October due to infrastructure work, yard remodelling and redevelopment at Bina-Agasod, Kasara and Kota Junction. The Railways said 22 trains will remain fully cancelled on different dates, while 23 will be diverted and two partially cancelled. Among the major cancelled trains are the Bhopal-Gwalior Intercity, Bhopal-Damoh Rajyarani Express, Bhopal-Khajuraho Mahamana Express, Jabalpur-Hazrat Nizamuddin Shridham Express and several MEMU services. The Itarsi-Bhopal Express and Bhopal-Itarsi Express will be partially cancelled from 9 to 15 October, short-terminating or originating at Damoh. Diversions due to third-line work at Kasara will affect 23 trains between 14 and 17 October. Redevelopment of Platform No 3 at Kota Junction continues until 18 October, the Bina-Kota-Bina Passenger will short-terminate at Sogaria. Passengers should check train status through Rail Madad 139, NTES or the Rail One app before travelling. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The scale of disruption, 22 cancellations and 23 diversions, means tens of thousands of passengers on key routes across central India will need to replan journeys through the month. The Railways has not specified compensation or alternate arrangements beyond rerouting. The work at three separate locations simultaneously suggests a coordinated push to complete yard remodelling and third-line projects, but the cumulative impact on connectivity between Bhopal, Itarsi, Kota and Mumbai remains unaddressed in the notice. Passengers will have to rely on real-time apps as the affected dates span almost the entire month, with Kota redevelopment continuing until 18 October. ## Coverage - freepressjournal.in Straight listing of cancellations and diversions with no commentary.
