There’s good news for rail passengers in Jammu. Four long-distance train services will resume in Jammu from April 2026, including the New Delhi-Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Katra Vande Bharat Express. However, Northern Railway has clarified that the cancellation of 20 trains will continue for the next two to three months, while 14 trains will operate with short terminations or short originations.
According to the Northern Railway, Jammu Division, Vande Bharat Express services will resume in both directions on the New Delhi-Katra route from April 2. Additionally, the train between Bhagat Ki Kothi (Rajasthan) and Jammu Tawi will resume on April 1, with the return service commencing the following day.
Railway officials stated that heavy rains in August last year damaged several railway tracks and bridges in the Jammu region, forcing the suspension or partial operation of more than 50 trains. Services are now being restored in a phased manner after reviewing safety standards.
The extended cancellations include Garib Rath, Duronto, Humsafar, Janmabhoomi Express, as well as some mail, superfast, and select Vande Bharat trains. The revised resumption dates for these trains are scheduled between late May and early June.
Short termination and origination periods have also been extended for several trains, such as the Jammu Mail, Durg–MCTM Express, Kota–MCTM Weekly Express, and Ahmedabad–Katra Express.
The railway administration has urged passengers to check the latest train status before traveling through the Indian Railways’ official website or helpline number to avoid any inconvenience.
