Rajkot, 13th February 2023: The long-awaited double track work between Rajkot-Surendranagar railway line has finally come to fruition, as trains have begun running on both tracks. This Rs.1 crore project has been in the works for the last six years and has been completed successfully. The completion of the double track opens up the possibility of extending trains from Ahmedabad to Rajkot and the allotment of new trains in the region.
As the work on the international airport in Rajkot nears completion, the city is set to become a hub for air and rail services by next June. The completion of the double track has also resolved the issue of railway crossings, which previously caused delays for trains running between Rajkot-Surendranagar. Passengers can now reach Ahmedabad 30 minutes earlier by train, as trains will no longer face the problem of crossing and will run smoothly on the double track.
The electric line of the railway track between Rajkot-Surendranagar is also being worked upon and is expected to be completed by June 2023. This will further improve the rail facilities for Saurashtrian passengers and connect them to other states in the country. The new schedule of trains will soon be released at the Rajkot railway station, with the possibility of trains from Ahmedabad extending to Rajkot and new trains arriving in the region.
The completion of the double track work is a significant step forward for the development of rail facilities in the Rajkot division and will greatly benefit passengers travelling between Rajkot and Ahmedabad.
