Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) serves parts of West Bengal and all of the North East of the country, the very frontier of the Indian Railways and is home to some of the most late-running trains in the country. NFR has announced the new railway timetable for 2014-15. Many trains have been slowed down considerably, maybe to reduce late running. NOTE: Premium trains mentioned here do not run regularly like other trains, only when there is demand, dates which will be notified. Click on the train number to know dates of run.

All details like timetable, days of operation, composition, route and stoppages and dates of introduction of these trains will be announced later. (Will be updated here).

Convenient timings at KYQ and between MAS and HWH as well. The only question is whether it will run on time.

Train Review: One of the two first trains to Arunachal Pradesh! Any unwarranted analysis of speed, route etc would be doing a disservice and will be unfair I guess 🙂

Train Verdict: Trains return to upper Assam after a gap of 4 years! IR completed the 450 km gauge conversion from MG to BG in just 4 years, which would be some sort of a record! This train will be speeded up later after the track stabilizes. Happy traveling, Assam peoples! 🙂
