Notice to Travellers
(Information correct at 4 August 2008)

The DHR is set to resume its toy train services from New Jalpaiguri to the hills
 by 1st September, hoping to cash in on the tourist rush during Puja.
The department may also run two trains daily from the plains to the hills and back instead of the usual one (see Indian Newspapers for details)

Joy Train trips and services between Darjeeling and Kurseong resumed on 22 July.
2D/10D departs Darjeeling at 1015 and arrives at Kurseong at 1310.
1D/9D departs Kurseong at 1500 and arrives at Darjeeling at 1750.
Services between Kurseong and Siliguri/New Jalpaiguri remain suspended
due to a severe land slip between Tindharia and Rangtong.
It is hoped to complete repairs and resume through working by 31 August.

Political tensions in the region remain high and intending passengers are advised
to contact their travel agent for the latest information,
or to check the Indian Railways DHR web site at www.dhr.in
 or to contact the Director DHR at director@dhr.in
