Dhanbad-Delhi AC Special Train:The AC special train that normally ran between Dhanbad and Jammu will now run to Delhi until November. Heavy rains damaged a rail bridge in Jammu, forcing the cancellation of the Dhanbad-Jammu service until mid-October. Due to high demand from passengers, Indian Railways has decided to extend the train’s route from Dhanbad to Delhi instead.

The train will have third AC economy coaches and will operate twice a week from October 11. It will leave Dhanbad at 10:10 am and reach Delhi at 9:15 am the next day. The return train, called the Delhi-Dhanbad Special, will run on Wednesdays and Sundays from October 12 to November 30.
