Railway News: Due to fog, the operation of passenger trains will be cancelled from Monday till 28 February, 2026. Due to falling temperature and dense fog affecting the speed of trains, the railway has cancelled 54327/28 Sitapur Passenger, 54329/30 Balamau Passenger, 54337/38 Lucknow Passenger and 64175/76 Roza-Bareilly Passenger.
Additionally, the 12209/10 Garib Rath-Kanpur-Kantagodam and 15903/04 Dibrugarh-Chandigarh weekly trains will also be cancelled. Changes have also been made to the Avadh Assam Express. 15909 will not arrive on Monday, while 15910 will not arrive in Shahjahanpur on Wednesday. This will cause inconvenience to daily commuters. A letter regarding the cancellations was issued by Senior DCM Aditya Gupta.
In another update, after the completion of the Automatic Block Signaling (ABS) system on the Jang Bahadurganj-Magalganj-Neri and Harauli-Dasna-Pilkhua railway sections, train operations have begun under the new system. This has led to improvements in both the speed and capacity of trains. Under ABS, the number of signals has been increased to just one kilometre, so that as soon as one train passes, the train following behind gets the signal immediately. This will reduce the blockage on the outer tracks and also reduce the risk of accidents.
Under the old railway system, trains faced delays due to signals spaced 10-12 kilometres apart. Now, a Rs 1,500 crore ABS project is underway on the Ghaziabad-Moradabad-Bareilly-Roza and Roza-Sitapur sections. Moradabad Division Senior DCM Aditya Gupta stated that this system is capable of safely running more trains in a single direction. ABS work will soon begin on the Bareilly-Roza section as well.
