East Coast Railway has extended the weekly special between Virangana Lakshmibai Jhansi and Khurda Road Junction to handle extra passenger demand during the festival and holiday season.
Train No. 01929 Virangana Lakshmibai Jhansi–Khurda Road Weekly Special will run every Friday from 4 September 2026 to 27 November 2026. The return service, Train No. 01930 Khurda Road–Virangana Lakshmibai Jhansi Weekly Special, will run every Sunday from 6 September 2026 to 29 November 2026.
The trains will keep their existing timings, route, stoppages and coach composition. Railway officials said the extension is meant to ease crowding on this long-distance corridor linking Uttar Pradesh and Odisha during peak festive travel.
Passengers have been asked to check the latest running status on the National Train Enquiry System (NTES) or official railway enquiry channels before travel, as special trains can be subject to last-minute operational changes.
