Indian Railways has made several important announcements to facilitate passengers during the festive season. The Mumbai Central-Kanpur Anwarganj-Mumbai Central special train, which passes through the Kota division, will have an additional 13 trips each. This will significantly benefit passengers traveling from Maharashtra to Uttar Pradesh via Kota, especially those heading home for Dussehra and Diwali.

Train number 09185 Mumbai Central-Kanpur Anwarganj special train will run every Sunday. Its additional trips are scheduled for September 13, 20, 27; October 4, 11, 18, 25; and November 1, 8, 15, 22, 29. For the return journey, train number 09186 Kanpur Anwarganj-Mumbai Central special train will run every Monday, operating on September 14, 21, 28; October 12, 19, 26; and November 2, 9, 16, 23, 30. This initiative aims to alleviate the difficulty of securing confirmed berths on many trains connecting Maharashtra to Uttar Pradesh via Kota, providing alternative travel options and reducing congestion during the festive rush.

Furthermore, an additional sleeper coach will be added to the Sogaria-Danapur Express (train number 19801), which originates from Sogaria station in the Kota railway division. This arrangement will be effective from November 2 for the Sogaria-Danapur Express and from November 3 for the return journey on train number 19802 Danapur-Sogaria Express. The Sogaria-Danapur Express will travel from Sogaria via Baran, Ruthiyai, Guna, Sagar, Damoh, Katni, Murwara, Maihar, and Satna to reach Danapur. With the addition of this coach, the train will have a total of 22 coaches, including 2 Second AC, 2 Third AC, 6 Third AC Economy, 6 Sleeper, 4 General coaches, one Generator Car, and one SLRD coach. This measure is particularly beneficial for passengers traveling to Bihar for Diwali and Chhath Puja.
