Guwahati, May 11: In a bid to enhance punctuality, streamline train operations, and improve passenger convenience, the Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) has revised the timings of over 80 train services operating on its network. Officials announced this update on Sunday.
According to NFR’s Chief Public Relations Officer (CPRO) Kapinjol Kishore Sharma, the revised schedules for several additional mail, express, passenger, diesel electric multiple unit (DEMU), and long-distance train services have been in effect since April 30, 2026.
The updated timetable includes over 80 train services and is part of ongoing efforts to improve punctuality, streamline train operations, and provide greater convenience for passengers traveling to and from Assam, other northeastern states, and beyond.
The revised schedule features several key trains, including the Naharlagun-Guwahati Shatabdi Express, Anand Vihar-Agartala Tejas Rajdhani Express, Dibrugarh-New Delhi Rajdhani Express, Silchar-New Tinsukia Express, Guwahati-Dibrugarh Express, and Guwahati-New Jalpaiguri Intercity Express.
Sharma noted that the revised schedule has also been implemented at major stations, including Guwahati, Kamakhya, Lumding, New Haflong, Badarpur, Dibrugarh, New Tinsukia, Rangiya, Silchar, and Agartala.
To ensure better connectivity and smooth train operations across various sections of the zone, the timings of several passenger and DEMU services in Assam and Tripura have also been rescheduled.
According to Sharma, the revised timetable is expected to reduce operational delays, improve sectional operational time management, and ensure punctuality for both short and long-distance passengers.
He further stated that these changes would help maintain better connectivity at major junctions and terminals, while also enhancing the overall efficiency of train operations in the Northeast Frontier Railway region.
Passengers are advised to confirm the revised train timings through the National Train Enquiry System (NTES), Passenger Reservation System (PRS) inquiry platforms, or at the nearest railway stations before commencing their journeys.
The Northeast Frontier Railway, headquartered in Maligaon near Guwahati, operates in the northeastern states as well as in seven districts of West Bengal and five districts of northern Bihar.
