# 27 trains affected as Jodhpur rail doubling work starts 2026-10-25T02:01:15+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Fitting and commissioning work on the Luni-Samdari-Bheeladi doubling project will disrupt 27 trains in November and December 2024. Jodhpur division rail manager Anurag Tripathi said temporary changes have been made to train operations. Several trains will be fully cancelled between 17 and 21 December, including the Bhagat Ki Kothi-Barmer express, Bhuj-Delhi express and Sabarmati-Lalgarh express. Two trains will be partially cancelled from 23 November to 17 December. Routes will change for trains including the Jaisalmer-Sabarmati superfast and Jodhpur-Dadar express between 23 November and 20 December. The Rishikesh-Barmer express on 22 November and the Bhagat Ki Kothi-Barmer express on 23 November will run late. Passengers have been advised to check train status and timings through official railway channels before travelling. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The doubling work on the Luni-Samdari-Bheeladi section is part of a network strengthening exercise that will temporarily inconvenience passengers on 27 trains across Rajasthan and Gujarat. The 25 partial cancellations starting 23 November indicate sustained disruption over nearly a month. Senior DCM Hitesh Yadav also flagged a separate line block on the South Western Railway for composite girder launching on 26 October, which will regulate one more train by 30 minutes. Passengers on these routes must check official updates daily as both cancellations and route changes vary by date and train. ## Coverage - bhaskar.com Leads with schedule changes, quotes officials, no editorialising This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
