The Indian Railways had recently set a record of having the 'highest number of trains run in a single day' by operating 364 trains from various Prayagraj stations on the special Kumbh Mela day of Mauni Amavasya. A total of 13,450 trains are reportedly planned to operate for the whole duration of Maha Kumbh. That being said, quite a few trains have also been given a change of routes, reassignment of stations and service cancellations to handle the inflow of devotees. More than 12 trains passing through Tundla and Agra have been cancelled till February 4. The cancellation is also to make space for special festival trains and a handful of regular trains. A few of the cancelled trains include the New Delhi - Bhagalpur Express, Delhi - Ali Dwarpur Express and Anand vihar - Jogbani Express. Here are the details of the cancelled trains and the special festival expresses:
