Amritsar mail cancelled

The Amritsar Mail!

The Amritsar Mail was a popular train service that operated between Howrah Junction in Kolkata, West Bengal, and Amritsar Junction in Punjab, India. The train was introduced in 1907 and was one of the oldest and most iconic train services in India.

Unfortunately, the Amritsar Mail was cancelled in 2013 by the Indian Railways due to low occupancy and financial losses. The train was running at a loss of around ₹1.5 crore (approximately $220,000 USD) per annum, and the Railways decided to discontinue the service to optimize resources and improve the overall efficiency of the network.

The cancellation of the Amritsar Mail was met with widespread disappointment and nostalgia from passengers who had grown up traveling on the train. Many people shared fond memories of their journeys on the Amritsar Mail, which was known for its scenic routes, comfortable seating, and warm hospitality.

Although the Amritsar Mail is no longer in operation, its legacy lives on, and many people still reminisce about their experiences on this iconic train.
