To tackle the heavy rush of passengers during the ongoing festival season, Indian Railways has launched a special unreserved festival train connecting Veerangana Lakshmibai Jhansi with Hazrat Nizamuddin. Designed to provide smooth, affordable, and hassle-free travel, this service directly caters to thousands of daily commuters and last-minute travellers across Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, and the National Capital Region.
Detailed Timings and Stoppage Schedule at Dholpur
The unreserved festival special train operates under train numbers 01901 and 01902, completing a total of two trips. A key highlight of this arrangement is the scheduled halt at Dholpur station in Rajasthan, allowing passengers from the region to board directly for both upward and downward journeys.
For the onward journey, train number 01901 is scheduled to depart from Veerangana Lakshmibai Jhansi station at 7:20 PM on November 14 and November 15. Moving along the route, the train will reach Dholpur station at 10:28 PM. Following a brief two-minute stoppage, it will resume its journey at 10:30 PM towards its final destination, Hazrat Nizamuddin.
On the return route, train number 01902 will depart from Hazrat Nizamuddin and arrive at Dholpur station at 10:48 AM. After making its mandatory two-minute operational halt, the train will depart at 10:50 AM to head back to Veerangana Lakshmibai Jhansi.
Major Relief for General Class Commuters and Verification Guidelines
During festive occasions, regular passenger trains often witness intense crowding in general coaches, forcing many travellers to endure long journeys while standing or facing severe discomfort. Because this special service consists entirely of general unreserved coaches, passengers can buy tickets at station counters immediately before departure without needing prior seat reservations.
The service offers critical transport links for residents in Dholpur and nearby rural pockets who regularly commute towards Delhi-NCR or Jhansi for work, family visits, or commercial activities. Railway officials have urged passengers to verify real-time train schedules and operational status before heading to stations by calling the official helpline number 139 or checking through the National Train Enquiry System (NTES) platform.
