Travelling Delhi side today? A six-hour engineering block is underway on the Delhi–Rewari corridor between Delhi Sarai Rohilla and Palam. Northern Railway is commissioning automatic signalling, causing cancellations, diversions and short terminations. Key hits include the Jodhpur–Delhi Cantt Vande Bharat, Jaipur Double Decker, and Ajmer Jan Shatabdi. Recheck status and allow buffers today, October 7.
The wider block runs October 5 to 8, but today carries the heaviest impact. Confirmed cancellations for October 7 include the Delhi Cantt–Jodhpur Vande Bharat, Ajmer–Delhi Sarai Rohilla Jan Shatabdi, and both Jaipur Double Deckers. Several locals are off, with select trains diverted or short‑terminated. Expect crowding around Gurgaon and Palam belts during office hours.

NTES and 139: how to confirm your train status
Use the National Train Enquiry System website or official app, enter the train number, and select your journey date. Review the Cancelled, Diverted or Rescheduled sections before you leave. You can also call 139 for IVRS or assistance, then choose arrival, departure or cancellation options. Keep your PNR handy.
Delhi–Jaipur, Ajmer, Chandigarh alternates during the block
For Jaipur and Ajmer, consider Rajasthan State Road Transport Corporation and reputable private Volvos from Dhaula Kuan, Kashmiri Gate or Gurgaon. Haryana Roadways runs frequent Gurgaon–Manesar–Rewari buses, useful for short hops today. For Chandigarh trips, the New Delhi–Kalka Shatabdi runs via Panipat and Ambala, bypassing Rewari entirely. Book early and travel outside peaks.
Refund and reschedule rules for cancelled or diverted trains
E‑tickets on fully cancelled trains are auto‑refunded by IRCTC. Counter tickets need cancellation within notified windows. If a train is diverted and you decline the alternative, you are due a refund for the untraveled portion without cancellation charges. For diversions or short terminations, file a Ticket Deposit Receipt within 72 hours, as applicable.
Post-block resumption timeline on Delhi–Rewari
After today’s six‑hour block ends, trains resume once controllers release the section and crews reposition. Expect residual delays into the evening as rakes and staff cycle back. Keep checking NTES or 139 for final departure platforms and timings. The upgrade should deliver safer headways and quicker turnarounds on this saturated corridor.
