The reclassification is aimed at providing accurate information to passengers regarding travel times and improving operational clarity. The revised classification will not affect the existing schedules or travel arrangements, but will provide a more realistic expectation of travel times. This move is part of a broader effort by Indian Railways to improve service quality and transparency. The Railway Board will review the proposal, and the revised train numbers will be implemented from the Advance Reservation Period (ARP) date.

Meanwhile, the Howrah-Amritsar-Howrah Punjab Mail (13005/13006) will now stop at Sarhind station in the Ambala division, starting March 17th.

The reintroduction of these stops after four years, especially during Holi, has been met with joy by the passengers.
