Ahead of the festive season, Indian Railways has provided significant relief to passengers traveling to Bihar and West Bengal. Northern Railway and North Eastern Railway have increased the frequency of several festival special trains passing through Barabanki. The stoppage of these trains at Barabanki Junction will directly benefit passengers from the district.

The Amritsar-Barauni Special (04668 and 04667) will complete nine trips from October 4 to November 29. This train will pass through Bareilly, Shahjahanpur, Hardoi, and Alamnagar, proceeding to Varanasi, Chhapra, Hajipur, and Barauni. Its scheduled stop in Barabanki is at 11:30 AM.

Similarly, the Amritsar-Kolkata Special (04624 and 04623) will make eight trips from October 7 to November 25. This service will travel via Gonda, Gorakhpur, Narkatiaganj, Muzaffarpur, Barauni, and Jhajha before reaching Kolkata. The stoppage at Barabanki headquarters will be at 12:30 PM.

The frequency of the New Delhi Superfast Special (04090, 04089) has also been extended until November 20. Additionally, the Banaras-Kolkata Superfast Special (05048) will operate from October 6 to November 24, featuring 20 AC economy coaches.

Station Superintendent AK Raizada stated that these additional services will greatly facilitate passengers traveling to Bihar and Bengal for Diwali and Chhath Puja. Commuters have welcomed the move, noting that it will alleviate overcrowding and reduce the rush for reservations during the festive period.
