Railway Board Approves Two New Train Stoppages in Gujarat at Ankleshwar, Navsari

Railway passengers in Gujarat will get two additional boarding and deboarding options after the Railway Board approved new stoppages for the Valsad–Vadnagar Express at Ankleshwar and the Bandra Terminus–Jaipur Express at Navsari.

The stoppages have been approved on a trial basis, with the Railway Board directing that they be introduced from suitable dates at the earliest. The effective dates and revised arrival and departure timings are yet to be announced.

Valsad–Vadnagar Express to Stop at Ankleshwar

Train numbers 20959 and 20960, operating as the Valsad–Vadnagar Express, will make trial stops at Ankleshwar station.

The additional halt is expected to make the service more accessible to passengers in and around Ankleshwar travelling towards Valsad and Vadnagar.

Railway authorities are expected to announce the date of implementation and the train timings for the new stoppage separately.

Bandra Terminus–Jaipur Express to Halt at Navsari

The Railway Board has also approved a trial stoppage at Navsari for the Bandra Terminus–Jaipur Express, train numbers 22933 and 22934.

The halt will offer passengers in Navsari another option for boarding and alighting on the service connecting Mumbai’s Bandra Terminus with Jaipur.

Stoppages to Be Reviewed After Trial

Both new halts will initially operate on a trial basis. Railway authorities will assess their performance, including passenger usage and ticket sales at the respective stations.

The decision on whether to retain the stoppages permanently will be taken after the review. Until the implementation dates and timings are announced, passengers should check official railway updates before planning their journeys.
