Seven pairs of trains connecting Bhuj with Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Pune and Shalimar will use the new Gopalpur route from September 19, ending the need for reversal at Gandhidham.
The Railway Ministry has approved direct train operations on the Gandhidham Cabin-Gopalpur-Bhuj new line, allowing trains to proceed towards Bhuj without changing direction at Gandhidham station.
The change will also give Gopalpur station new train connectivity, while railway operations on the Bhuj route are expected to become smoother and more time-efficient.
Seven Pairs of Trains to Stop at Gopalpur
The revised arrangements will apply to seven pairs of trains. The implementation dates vary depending on the service.

Gandhidham Reversal to Be Avoided
Until now, some trains operating towards Bhuj had to travel towards Gandhidham and undergo a reversal before continuing towards Bhuj.
The new Gandhidham Cabin-Gopalpur-Bhuj connection provides a direct route, removing this operational requirement for the affected services.
The move is expected to reduce the time involved in train operations, simplify railway management and improve the efficiency of services towards Bhuj.
Gopalpur Gets New Rail Connectivity
With the revised arrangement, Gopalpur station will replace Gandhidham as the stoppage for these services.
The development is also expected to improve passenger connectivity at Gopalpur, while reducing operational complications on the Bhuj route.
Passengers Advised to Check Revised Timings
The change will affect more than just train stoppages. Arrival and departure timings at some stations have also been partially revised.
Passengers travelling on the affected services have been advised to check the updated timetable before starting their journey, particularly for trips from September 19 onwards.
