Railways adds extra coaches to meet demand
To accommodate a surge in passenger traffic, railway authorities have decided to temporarily attach two additional AC coaches to the 12155 Rani Kamalapati–Nizamuddin Express (Bhopal Express). This measure effective August 13, 2025, aims to provide more confirmed berths and a smoother travel experience for passengers.
