Railway Time Table 2026: With the beginning of the new year, East Central Railway (ECR) has issued a very big and important update for crores of its passengers. From January 1, the timetable of a total of 89 trains running and passing through the zone has been changed.

If you are also planning to travel by train in the coming days, then this news is very important for you. It should not happen that you reach the station as per the old time and miss your train!
