Passengers travelling to and from Prayagraj will have new train options in the coming weeks, but some services will also face temporary changes due to ongoing railway infrastructure work. The railway authorities have announced cancellations, delays, and rescheduling of trains because of doubling and non-interlocking work on the Jhansi-Manikpur section, particularly between Mauranipur and Rora stations.
Train Services to be Affected
Due to the maintenance work, the Prayagraj-Gwalior Express (Train No. 11801) will remain cancelled on July 28 and July 29. Similarly, the Gwalior-Prayagraj Express (Train No. 11802) will be cancelled on July 27 and July 28. The Gwalior-Prayagraj Express will also run about two hours late on Sunday and between July 21 and July 26.
Other train services will also be affected. The Gwalior-Howrah Chambal Express (Train No. 12176) will be stopped for one hour on July 21 and July 28. The Agra Cantt-Howrah Chambal Express will also face a one-hour halt during its journey on July 23.

Train numbers 15073, 15074, 15075, and 15076, operating between Tanakpur, Shaktinagar, and Singrauli, will stop at the station in both directions following passenger demand.

Another special service, the Agra Cantt-Kolkata Special (01911), will run from July 23 to September 24.
Prayagraj-Bengaluru Special Train
To meet increased passenger demand during the festive travel season, Railways will introduce the Prayagraj-Yeshwantpur Weekly Special (04149/04150) from August 5 to September 26.
