Tickets for Aastha special trains run specifically for Ayodhya will not be available from the railway counter, but from the booking agency. Devotees will be given entry in this train as per the list from IRCTC. Stoppage of the train will also be done as per booking and convenience. It is expected that the first train of NER will pass through Gorakhpur on 30th.
Before the consecration of Shri Ram Lala, it is common to discuss that all the public representatives of BJP will make the people of their respective areas visit and worship Ayodhya. Earlier, news had come that Aastha special train would be run from every zone of the Railways to Ayodhya. This train will be operated by IRCTC on the lines of Bharat Gaurav Train.
Bharat Gaurav train goes to major tourist destinations of the country and also returns with the same passengers. Similarly, Aastha special train will also take devotees to Ayodhya on its route and will return there the next day after offering darshan and worship. Trains coming from Habra and Arunachal will operate via Gorakhpur.
