At  present,  Dausa  station  is  served  by  80  trains  and Bandikui  station  by  96  trains,  which  cater  to  the  travel  needs  of  the

population  of  the  city  and  surrounding  villages.  Further,  08  passenger train services presently stop at Kolvagram station, as under:

To improve passenger amenities at Kolvagram station, works for platform extension,  provision  of  covered  platform  shelter,  foot  over  bridge  and entrance ramps for Divyangjan have been taken up.

At  present,  Baswa  Railway  Station  is  served  by  the  following  14  train services:

§

extension and provision of covered platform shelter have been taken up for improving passenger amenities at Baswa railway station. Khan Bhakri and Bhandana halt stations near Dausa were closed earlier due to low passenger volume. Opening of stations including reopening of closed  stations  depends  on  many  factors  such  as  passenger  footfall, cost,  recurring  expenditure,  operational  feasibility  and  distance  of nearby stations etc. Jhir  Railway  Station  is  presently  served  by  the  following  04  train services, catering to the needs of passengers of the station:

|   SN | Train No. and Name                   |
|------|--------------------------------------|
|    1 | 14733 Bathinda-Jaipur Express        |
|    2 | 51973/51974 Mathura-Jaipur Passenger |
|    3 | 14716 Jaipur-Hisar Express           |

Train  No.  79601/79602 Ajmer-Jaipur-Gangapur City DEMU presently has scheduled  stoppages  at  Dausa/Bassi  stations  near  Jhir  railway  station. Provision of additional stoppages of trains depends upon traffic justification,  operational  feasibility  including  availability  of  path  on  the section,  and  availability  of  matching  infrastructure  such  as  platform length, etc.
