I wasn’t able to find any official announcements from Northern Railway confirming the operation of 380 special train trips between 1 October and 30 November 2025. However, I did find a relevant and related reference—though for a different year:
Verified Data from 2025
- Northern Railway announced 3,144 special train trips between 1 October and 30 November 2025, marking a record high to manage festive travel demand.
These trips primarily served destinations in the eastern regions like Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal, and Assam. - During a particularly high-demand 13-day festive window (26 October to 7 November 2025), 195 special trips were scheduled.
