Source note: the railway’s date list for Train No. 18047 includes one entry written as January 16, 2026, which is before the release date and appears to be a typographical error. The railway’s list for that train otherwise runs from November 28, 2026, to January 18, 2027. Passengers should check the railway’s notice for exact dates.
The railway has issued the exact departure dates for each train. Passengers are advised to check them before travel. The release was issued by SWR Chief Public Relations Officer Manjunath Kanamadi.
