In response to the surging passenger crowds on trains during the Diwali festival season, the railway administration has put special arrangements into motion. To enhance passenger convenience, a daily unreserved superfast special train will run between Sogaria and Mathura. Operating under train numbers 02921 and 02922, the Sogaria-Mathura-Sogaria Superfast Special will run from October 14 to October 26, 2026.
