Western Railway has started an additional ticket counter at Bhavnagar Para railway station from September 11, 2026, to manage the expected increase in passenger rush during the upcoming festive season. The temporary counter will remain operational until further orders.
The additional facility has been introduced to make ticket booking easier for passengers and reduce crowding at the station. Passenger footfall is expected to increase during the festive period as more people travel to different destinations.
Additional counter to operate for five hours
The new ticket counter will remain open from 7.30 am to 12.30 pm. Passengers can use the counter to purchase both reserved and unreserved tickets.
The regular ticket counter at Bhavnagar Para station will continue to remain operational 24 hours a day. This means passengers will have an additional option to get tickets during the morning hours when the temporary counter is open.
The arrangement is expected to help distribute passengers between the counters and make the ticketing process smoother, especially during periods of higher passenger movement.
More stations may get temporary counters
Western Railway has also planned to introduce additional ticket counters at other stations where a high passenger rush is expected during the festive season.
The railway will assess passenger footfall and requirements at different stations and take necessary steps accordingly. Temporary counters may be opened wherever there is a need to handle the additional crowd and provide faster ticketing services.
The move is part of the railway's preparations to manage the expected rise in passenger numbers during the upcoming festivals and holidays.
Passengers advised to plan journeys in advance
Railway authorities have advised passengers to plan their journeys in advance and make use of the additional ticketing facilities. Passengers have also been asked to avoid waiting until the last moment to purchase tickets, as this could lead to longer queues and increased crowding at stations.
Western Railway is making arrangements to handle the expected festive rush and provide passengers with a smoother and more convenient travel experience. The additional ticket counter at Bhavnagar Para station is one such measure aimed at improving passenger convenience during the busy period.
