Western Railway has brought good news for passengers planning to travel between Gujarat and Bihar during the upcoming Holi festival season. To manage the heavy rush of passengers, the railway administration has decided to run unreserved special trains between Udhna Junction in Surat and Hasanpur Road. These special services will operate on a weekly basis throughout February and March 2026. This move is expected to provide major relief to workers and families traveling to Uttar Pradesh and Bihar who often struggle to find seats in regular trains.

How to Book Tickets
Since these are unreserved trains, you do not need to book tickets months in advance. Passengers can purchase tickets directly from the station counters before the journey. To avoid long queues at the station, railway officials have advised using the UTS (Unreserved Ticketing System) App on your mobile phone to buy tickets. Passengers should reach the station well in time to board the train safely, as a high number of travelers is expected during the Holi period.
