Railway restores key trains on Amritsar-Jalandhar Section
Ferozepur, January 27, 2026: Northern Railway has announced the restoration of several key train services that were previously scheduled for cancellation, diversion, or short-termination. The decision follows the cancellation of a planned "Traffic cum OHE Block" intended for bridge girder replacement work at Bridge No. 28 on the Amritsar-Jalandhar City section.
The adjustments have been made to provide relief to commuters: Popular services including the Amritsar–Delhi Jn. Express (14680/14679) and the Amritsar–Haridwar Jn. Express (12054/12053) have been restored for their scheduled runs on January 29 and 31. Passenger services between Jalandhar City and Ferozepur Cantt (74931/74940), which were initially impacted, will now operate as per their original schedule on January 31. Several diverted trains, such as the Sambalpur Jn.–Jammu Tawi (18309) and the Pathankot–Delhi Jn. (22430), have been restored to their proper routes, ensuring they no longer skip essential stops like Amritsar, Beas, and Jalandhar City. Trains that were set to short-originate or terminate at intermediate stations like Ferozepur Cantt, Khojewala, or Phagwara have been restored to their full routes.
The railway authorities had initially planned these disruptions to replace existing girders with new PSC slabs, a project aimed at improving long-term infrastructure and safety. With the block now cancelled, normal operations will continue, significantly easing travel for thousands of passengers across the region.
