Indian Railways has announced special trains between Mumbai and Ahmedabad to help cricket fans travel easily for the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 matches. These trains have been introduced because a large number of fans are expected to travel to Ahmedabad to watch the games. According to Western Railway
officials, the decision was taken after a sharp rise in travel demand on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad route during the tournament. The additional trains aim to reduce crowding on regular trains and provide more travel options for passengers.
Mumbai Central-Ahmedabad AC Superfast Tejas Special
One of the special services is Train No. 09027 Mumbai Central-Ahmedabad AC Superfast Tejas Special. This train will leave Mumbai Central at 11:45 pm on March 7, 2026, and reach Ahmedabad at 8:30 am the next day. For the return journey, Train No. 09028 will depart from Ahmedabad at 3:00 am on March 9 and reach Mumbai Central at 11:15 am.

Another special train, Train No. 09021 Mumbai Central-Ahmedabad AC Superfast Special, will depart from Mumbai Central at 6:20 am on March 8 and reach Ahmedabad at 12:40 pm the same day. The return service, Train No. 09022, will depart from Ahmedabad at 3:10 pm on March 8 and arrive in Mumbai Central at 9:45 pm.
Both trains will stop at several important stations along the route. These include Borivali, Vapi, Surat, Bharuch, and Vadodara in both directions. The trains will have comfortable air-conditioned coaches such as First AC, AC 2-Tier, AC 3-Tier, Executive class, and AC Chair Car to give passengers a better travel experience.
Railway officials said these special services will help manage the large number of cricket fans travelling to Ahmedabad for the big matches. The move is expected to make travel easier and reduce pressure on regular train services during the tournament period.
