Accordingly, during the  year  2024, 13523  trips  of  special  trains  were  operated to meet the extra rush of passengers during Holi and summer vacation. To cater to the rush during Durga Pooja/Dipawali/Chhath, 7983 trips of Special trains have also been notified during the period 1st October, 2024  to  30th  November,  2024  to  serve  approximately  1.8  crore passengers.

In  VIKALP, confirmed accommodation in alternate train is provided to the eligible passengers  who  have  opted  for  the  same.  In  upgradation  scheme, waiting list passengers of lower class are provided confirmed accommodation in the higher class if there is a vacant accommodation in higher class at the time of charting.
