Prayagraj: After introducing mail, express and clone trains during the gradual unlock of the Covid lockdowns, the railway board has now decided to enhance the speed of some passenger trains and convert them into mail and express trains. The move will make passengers reach their destinations in shorter time. The railway board will soon allow these converted mail/express trains to run on their scheduled routes. In the list of 358 trains issued by the railway board, there are six trains of the North Central Railway (NCR) as well. These include trains running between Prayagraj to neighbouring districts such as Jhansi, Bareilly, Itarsi and Chopan.
“The railway board has instructed converting six passenger trains into mail/express trains. Thereafter, these trains will be introduced for common passengers, ensuring them a faster journey to their destinations,” said chief public relation officer (CPRO), NCR, Ajeet Kumar Singh. tnn
