Overview
- DMRC is running an early timetable from October 30 to November 3 to handle the post-Chhath Puja return surge at key entry hubs.
- First services now start at 5:15 am from New Delhi (Yellow Line) and Anand Vihar ISBT (Blue/Pink), aligning with heavy arrivals at NDLS and ANVT.
- Additional early-morning trains are being deployed from the two stations, with DMRC highlighting interchange availability across major nodes to ease transfers.
- On regular days, the first trains start later—5:45 am from New Delhi and 6:05 am from Anand Vihar—so the temporary starts are earlier than usual.
- DMRC has already added 40 weekday trips after GRAP-II took effect and says it will scale up to 60 additional trips if GRAP Stage III comes into force.
