Ahmedabad Jammu Express

As the total number of cases from the Coronavirus 2nd wave appear to wane, the Indian Railway has increased its activity to ramp up the services of various trains which were earlier suspended or cancelled. In a similar move, the Western Railway division has decided to run the Ahmedabad Jammu Tawi Special Express Train for the convenience of rail passengers from 6th July, 2021.

The trains had been cancelled by the railways due to poor occupancy rate of passengers amid an alarming rise in Covid-19 in the Ahmedabad and Jammu region.

Railways has suffered various disruptions throughout 2020 and 2021 starting with the nationwide lockdown that was imposed from March 25, 2020. However the railways resumed operations in a staggered manner with the start of Shramik Special to help stranded migrant workers to reach their home states from May 1, 2020.

Indian Railway is hoping to restore its passenger train services to almost pre Covid-19 levels, provided India gets control of the virus which is ravaging the country in a deadly second wave. These trains are also likely to be special trains only and not regular passenger services.
