Here’s the official update on train regulation in the Kharagpur Division of South Eastern Railway (SER) due to developmental works on 21–22 May 2025:

🚧 Development Work & Train Regulation

🗓️ Dates: 21–22 May 2025

  • The Engineering Department of SER scheduled Non-Interlocking (NI) works on the new third line between Kharagpur–Hijli (Santragachi route).
  • Due to these works, multiple trains—including passenger, express, and superfast services—were either cancelled, short-terminated, or rerouted during this period. ([turn0search5]turn0search0)

📉 Impacted Services:

  • Around 30 pairs of express/mail passenger trains were cancelled.
  • Approximately 15 passenger or local trains were also cancelled.
  • Several other services—such as Steel Express, Gitanjali Express, Ispat Express, and many more—were short-terminated or origin-changed for one or both days. ([turn0search5]turn0search0)

📊 Summary Table

Type Scale of Impact
Express/MAIL Trains ~30 train pairs cancelled
Passenger/Local Trains ~15 train pairs cancelled
Other Express Services Short termination, origination changes
Core Work Location Kharagpur–Hijli third-line construction
Reason Non-interlocking work for new track

🧭 Why This Matters

  • These developmental works were part of a major yard remodelling project at Santragachi (Kharagpur Division), pushing track upgrades for smoother operations.
  • Non-interlocking works require train blocks since signalling is temporarily disabled—thus critical cancellations and modifications were unavoidable.
  • Even completed on paper by May 18, the ripple effect impacted normal operations on the 21st and 22nd, affecting passenger awareness and station coordination. ([turn0news19]turn0search6turn0search9)

✅ Guidance for Travelers & Agencies

  • Expect major disruptions on affected routes around Kharagpur Division during 21–22 May 2025.
  • Always check revised train status or special circulars issued by SER closer to the travel date.
  • If your travel involves passenger bullet or express trains, confirm via NTES or PRS counters before departure.
  • For precision on specific train numbers affected—or whether alternate services ran—please let me know the train details, and I can look them up.

Would you like a list of specific train numbers cancelled or redirected (e.g., Steel Express, Howrah–Titlagarh Express)? I can help retrieve and summarize that too!
