In a major relief for rail passengers travelling to and from Kutch, the Railway Board has approved a route change for seven important Bhuj-bound trains. The move will eliminate the need for rake reversal at Gandhidham, helping reduce travel time and improve operations.
The trains will now run through the Gandhidham Cabin–Gopalpur–Bhuj section. Instead of halting at Gandhidham, they will have a commercial stop at Gopalpur.
The Railway Board issued the order on July 15, 2026, and the new route will come into effect before advance bookings begin for the revised services.
The seven trains covered under the new arrangement are:
- 20907/20908 – Dadar–Bhuj Express
- 22903/22904 – Bandra Terminus–Bhuj Express
- 12965/12966 – Bandra Terminus–Bhuj Express
- 12959/12960 – Bandra Terminus–Bhuj Express
- 11091/11092 – Bhuj–Pune Express
- 22829/22830 – Bhuj–Shalimar Express
- 94801/94802 – Ahmedabad–Bhuj Namo Bharat Rapid Rail
