In the vast network of Indian Railways, two types of stops punctuate the journey of trains: technical and commercial. Technical halts are brief, unscheduled pauses for operational needs like maintenance or crew changes.
They are not for passenger use. In contrast, commercial stops are scheduled breaks where passengers can embark and disembark, reflecting the train’s official route and timetable. The distinction is crucial for the smooth operation of India’s lifeline, ensuring both efficiency in travel and the maintenance of the trains that traverse the country’s expanse.
