Nagpur: The Ministry of Railways has decided to convert the Hisar-Tirupati Special Train into a regular service, a move expected to make travel to the famous Tirupati Balaji Temple easier for devotees from Maharashtra and Central India.
With the service now being regularized, passengers will benefit from better ticket availability and a fixed travel schedule, allowing pilgrims and tourists to plan their journeys more conveniently. Earlier, the route was served only through a special train, which limited travel options.
Officials said the new regular train service will also strengthen connectivity between major cities of Central India and the southern pilgrimage destination, enabling devotees to reach Tirupati directly.
