The Indian Railways has extended the operations of 12 pairs of trains, restored seven and began an additional weekly superfast between Pune and Lucknow. Booking for the reservations of the trains coming from Maharashtra can be done via computerized reservation centres and online through the website: www.irctc.co.in.
