An official release from the Bhavnagar division of Western Railway said the cancelled trains are Bhavnagar-Jetalar (09566 and 09568), Jetalsar-Bhavnagar (09565 and 06567), Bhavnagar-Mahuva (19205), Mahuva-Bhavnagar (19206), Bhavnagar-Botad (09504) and Botad-Bhavnagar (09571).
Due to the derailment, Bhavnagar-Sabarmati (20966) train has been rescheduled and will run two hours behind, departing from the source station at 8 am, instead of 6 am.
“After the derailment of a goods train at Dhol junction at 4.45 pm on Sunday, railway traffic was partially restored by 9.21 pm. However, work was still on to restore the overhead electric cable that had snapped during the accident. This has forced the cancellation of these eight trains and rescheduling of one,” said an officer of the Bhavnagar divisional railway.
