Yard remodelling work will severely disrupt train services through Madhya Pradesh for the next two months. Construction is currently underway at Bina station of West Central Railway and Agasod station of North Central Railway to create a crucial third railway line connecting the two locations. Indian Railways has already cancelled around 20 trains, while others had their routes adjusted.
Pre-non-interlocking and non-interlocking work will be carried out in phases from September 1 to October 15. To facilitate the work and ensure safe train operations, several services will be cancelled, while others will be short-terminated, short-originated or have their destination stations changed.
Once the remodelling is completed, the yards at Bina and Agasod are expected to have higher operational capacity. Railway authorities said the upgraded infrastructure will help improve the handling of train movements and stoppages, provide greater capacity to accommodate rising traffic and enhance operational efficiency, reliability and punctuality.
