\n

\ud83d\ude86 Prayagraj Sangam \u2192 YNRK \u2013 Kumbh Special (Train No. 04229)<\/h2>\n
    \n
  • A dedicated special service, Train 04229<\/strong>, operated from Prayagraj Sangam (PYGS)<\/strong> to Yog Nagari Rishikesh (YNRK)<\/strong> during the 2025 festival. It was classified explicitly as a Kumbh Mela Special<\/strong> with reserved coaches: 2A, 3A, Sleeper, and 2S<\/strong> (Second Seating)<\/li>\n
  • It ran weekly on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays<\/strong>, covering approximately 743\u202fkm in about 15 hours<\/strong>. It departed PYGS around 23:35\u201323:40<\/strong>, arriving at YNRK around 14:30\u201314:35<\/strong> the next day, and halted at around 18 stations en route<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    \n

    \ud83d\udd04 Return Leg: YNRK \u2192 Prayagraj Sangam (Train 14230)<\/h2>\n
      \n
    • The corresponding return service, 14230 Yog Nagari Rishikesh\u2013Prayagraj Sangam Express<\/strong>, ran daily<\/strong> during the festival via regular or special operations, allowing pilgrim flow back from Uttarakhand to the Kumbh site<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n

      \ud83e\udded Operational Adjustments due to Kumbh Rush<\/h2>\n
        \n
      • Prayagraj Sangam station was temporarily closed<\/strong> to regular train operations from February 9 to 14<\/strong> due to extreme crowding; many Kumbh specials, including 04229 \/ 14230, were short-terminated or originated from Prayag Junction or Phaphamau stations<\/strong> during this period<\/li>\n
      • As part of broader preparations, North Railway rerouted and adjusted 14 trains<\/strong> to minimize congestion, impacting services routing through Sangam \u2014 with special operations running till February 28 before normal scheduling resumed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
