Lalitpur-Bina MEMU train cancelled for 8 days from 18 October
The Story in Brief
Railways has taken a block at Bina junction for yard remodelling work, cancelling the 64618 Lalitpur-Bina MEMU and 64617 Bina-Lalitpur MEMU trains from Sunday, 18 October, to 25 October.
Eight long-distance express trains will also be diverted via the Malkhedi-Mahadev Khedi bypass instead of Bina. Affected routes include 19054 Muzaffarpur-Surat, 15046 Okha-Gorakhpur, 19165 Ahmedabad-Darbhanga, 19168 Varanasi-Ahmedabad, 19166 Darbhanga-Ahmedabad, and 19167 Ahmedabad-Varanasi City on various dates between 18 and 24 October.
Hundreds of daily commuters between Bina, Aagsoad and Lalitpur are expected to face inconvenience. Railways has urged passengers to check train status via the NTES app or call 139 before travelling.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The yard remodelling at Bina aims to add interlocking for a third line, a long-term capacity upgrade that will improve train movement once completed. For now, the eight-day block disrupts local MEMU services and forces route changes on express trains, affecting hundreds of daily passengers who have no alternative rail link between Lalitpur and Bina. Railways has asked travellers to check schedules on NTES or helpline 139, but has not announced any substitute bus or shuttle service. Commuters must plan alternate travel until 25 October.
