North Central Railway has revised timings of several trains linked to Prayagraj from 28 October, with changes ranging from five minutes to over an hour, as per the Times of India. The biggest change is the shifting of the Prayagraj-New Delhi Humsafar Express terminal from New Delhi to Anand Vihar from 1 January 2027, after which the train will run seven days a week from Anand Vihar.

The Prayagraj-New Delhi Humsafar Express (12275) will reach New Delhi at 6:35 am from 29 October, 20 minutes later than its existing arrival. From 1 January, it will terminate at Anand Vihar, reaching at 6:25 am. Its return service (12276) will leave New Delhi at 11:05 pm from 28 October, reaching Prayagraj at 7:45 am. Other affected trains include the Prayagraj-Anand Vihar Humsafar, Prayagraj Express, Rewa-Anand Vihar Express, Magadh Express, Udhna-Danapur Express, and New Delhi-Jaynagar Express.
Separately, Northern Railway has revised timings of several trains between Delhi and Uttar Pradesh and Bihar from 28 October, as per Udaipur Kiran. Affected trains include the Tejas Rajdhani Express, Sampoorna Kranti Express, Humsafar Express, Vaishali Express, Prayagraj Express, Vikramshila Express, passenger and MEMU trains. Passengers travelling during Diwali and Chhath Puja are advised to check revised timings.
Railway officials advised passengers to check the revised timetable before making travel plans. The changes are part of a wider revision involving 35 trains.
The Times of India frames the revision around Prayagraj-linked trains, leading with the Humsafar terminal shift and giving journey-level detail. Udaipur Kiran widens the scope to Northern Railway’s Delhi-bound services, adding Tejas Rajdhani and Sampoorna Kranti, and flags traveller advice for the festival period. Both are straight agency-style reporting, neither probes the reason for the change or its impact beyond schedule shifts. The overlap on the Prayagraj Express is identical. Together the two pieces confirm a broad timetable exercise covering at least 35 trains, effective from 28 October for most, with the terminal change from 1 January 2027.
