# Pratapnagar-Jobat passenger train extended to Dekakund in MP 2026-10-26T05:16:43+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Pratapnagar-Jobat passenger train service has been extended to Dekakund in Madhya Pradesh from Sunday (1 November). Train numbers 59123 and 59124 will now run the additional segment. Timings at Jobat have been revised: train 59123 arrives at 12:56pm and departs at 12:58pm, instead of the earlier 1:10pm, reaching Dekakund at 1:25pm. Train 59124 departs Dekakund at 1:50pm and arrives at Jobat at 2:02pm, departing at 2:04pm. The extension is meant to improve rail access for passengers travelling to and from Dekakund. The railway has advised passengers to check the revised schedule and plan journeys accordingly. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The extension shifts a known commuter service from a state border station to a deeper point inside Madhya Pradesh, which will primarily benefit passengers who previously alighted at Jobat and then had to find onward transport to Dekakund. The revised timings are minimal, the morning arrival at Jobat is now 14 minutes earlier, so the time gain is small. The source does not name the funding or the agency responsible for the extension, nor does it indicate whether Dekakund station has been upgraded for the new service. The real utility of the change will be measured by ridership data over the next few months. No agency has yet announced a review date for the revised schedule. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Led with extension fact and scheduled details, no government or official framing evident This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
