ANSWER
MINISTER OF RAILWAYS, INFORMATION & BROADCASTING AND
ELECTRONICS & INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
(SHRI ASHWINI VAISHNAW)
(a) to (c) Introduction of new trains, increase in frequency of
existing trains, extension of existing trains etc. on any route/section
depends on various factors which include:
● Capacity of that section,
● Availability of path,
● Availability of required rolling stock,
● Availability of matching infrastructure for rolling stock,
● Maintenance requirement of railway tracks and other assets
Considering the above factors, presently, Jaipur-Ringas sector is
served by 24 train services while Ringas-Nim Ka Thana-Delhi sectoris served by 14 train services. Similarly, Jaipur is connected to Delhi
by 56 train services. Passengers of Jaipur desirous of travelling to
Delhi via Nim ka Thana, may do so by availing services from Ringas
station.
Further, Jaipur is connected to Churu and Sikar by 12 and 24 train
services respectively. These include the services which operate
from Jaipur to Churu/Sikar in the morning and from Churu/Sikar to
Jaipur in the evening.
Jaipur is also directly connected to Kolkata by 10 Express train
services.
To increase the capacity of the rail network and hence to run more
trains, Indian Railways have taken up network expansion works in a
big way.
Provision of additional stoppages of the existing trains depend on
the demand pattern, availability of extra time in the section,
availability of matching infrastructure (Platform length etc.).
Considering these factors, Renwal is presently being served by 14
Mail/Express train services. Of these, 06 train services each
connect Renwal to Delhi and Ajmer. Moreover, 12065/66 Ajmer-
Delhi Sarai Rohilla Jan Shatabdi Express (via Ringas-Nim Ka Thana)
has scheduled stoppage at Ringas/Phulera. 12015/16 Daurai(Ajmer)-
