Times of India | 19 November 2025
Kolkata: Eastern Railway's Sealdah division is all set to introduce its fourth AC local service. The new AC EMU will be commissioned on Monday, operating between Sealdah and Kalyani. Another AC service (Sealdah-Krishnagore), now running six days a week, will now be operational on Sundays, DRM, Sealdah, Rajeev Saxena, told a media conference on Tuesday. ER has been running AC suburban trains from Sealdah to Krishnagore, Sealdah-Ranaghat, and the third between Sealdah and Ranaghat via Barasat-Bongaon.
"ER has implemented a significant upgrade and rationalisation of its suburban services," Saxena said. He said the new Sealdah-Kalyani AC service targets the late afternoon riders, benefiting those from the Kalyani area, which is an education and health hub. "To boost the latest metro connectivity, the Dum Dum Cantonment-Bongaon local is being introduced. It will leave at 8.05 pm every day," the DRM said. TNN
