Passengers traveling on the Bhubaneswar-Rourkela Express faced unexpected delays on Monday as the East Coast Railway (ECoR) announced a rescheduling of Train No. 22840 due to the late arrival of its link train.
Originally slated to depart Bhubaneswar at 1:40 PM on September 8, 2025, the train will now leave at 9:30 PM the same day. The delay has caused inconvenience to hundreds of passengers, prompting ECoR to issue a public advisory urging travelers to adjust their plans accordingly.
Railway officials have assured that all necessary arrangements are being made to accommodate affected passengers and minimize disruption. Travelers are encouraged to check the official railway website or contact local stations for real-time updates.
This incident highlights the ripple effect that delays in link trains can have on long-distance services, especially in high-traffic corridors like Bhubaneswar to Rourkela.
