Train Ticket Prices Decreased: 10 Major Express Routes Get Cheaper Fares from April

In a big relief for passengers, train ticket prices decreased on several long-distance routes as Indian Railways removes the superfast surcharge from 10 key trains. With summer travel set to rise, this move will directly lower fares and benefit thousands of daily and monthly travellers across eastern and northern India.

Superfast Tag Removed: What It Means for Passengers

For years, passengers have raised concerns about the extra superfast surcharge added to ticket prices. Now, Indian Railways has decided to remove the superfast classification from 10 prominent trains.

• These trains will now run as regular express services.
• The superfast surcharge will no longer be included in the fare.
• New train numbers will be issued after the reclassification.

As a result, passengers will automatically see reduced ticket prices while booking.
