In the wake of mass cancellations of Indigo flights, Indian Railways has stepped in to manage the sudden travel chaos, offering immediate relief to stranded passengers. To handle the spike in demand, Western Railway (WR) has added extra AC chair car coaches on key long-distance trains, while Central Railway (CR) has announced seven special trains.
On WR, additional coaches have been attached to Train No. 12951 (Mumbai-New Delhi) and Train No. 12957 (Sabarmati-New Delhi) on multiple dates between December 6 and 10. These coaches will return via their pairing trains, 12952 and 12958, on corresponding dates to ensure smooth turnaround and continued availability.
