For instance the Gandhidham-Delhi and Jaipur-Bangalore trains that were to begin on Western Railway from July have been postponed.

Central Railway has also postponed the introduction of four new trains. These include a new bi-weekly super fast train between Kurla and Patna, a new weekly express train between Pune and Ernakulam, a tri-weekly train between Gwalior and Indore and a fast passenger train between Gulbarga and Raichur.

While there are no changes in WR's suburban services, the division has brought forward the timings of two long distance trains in its new user friendly time table. The Bandra-Bikaner Ranakpur Express that left at 15.10 will now leave at 15.00 hours. The Sayaji Express that departed for Baroda daily at 14.50 will now leave at 14.40 hours.

Meanwhile,there will be no reduction in the existing 1077 suburban services of Central Railway in the new time table. However, an effort has been made to rationalise the time table and increase the existing maintenance margins.
