New Timetable for 2015-16: South Western Railway
South Western Railway (SWR) presiding mostly over the state of Karnataka has announced the revised timetable for its trains for 2015-16 to appear in the new Trains at a Glance for this year. All new timings and other changes will come into force on October 1 2015, or for the first trip the train makes after October 1.
The biggest, groundbreaking change here is that there are no new trains to be announced and “Date of inauguration will be announced later” timetables to be declared, thanks to the most sensible policy change of the Indian Railways for quite some decades of not using the budget to announce a gazillion new trains on the already overcrowded tracks. Other than that, there is nothing disruptive, drastic or blockbuster in the new timetables. Just the usual fare of speeding up or slowing down trains by 5-10 minutes. Disappointing.
It is another fact that SWR has stunned everyone by announcing changes to its timetable first, unlike most other years when it always is the last to announce new timetable changes. Click on the train numbers to know detailed new timetables etc.
