Train service

See trains from Hisar-Raipur to Jakhal-Bathinda, Jakhal-Patiala-Chandigarh and Jakhal-Patiala-Ludhiana-Amritsar routes.

In 2025 July, the Hisar-Chandigarh train (Barwala, Uklana, Jakhal, Narwana, Kaithal, Kurukshetra, and Ambala Cantt) starts from Raipur Hisar Junction station instead of main Hisar Junction railway station due to the lack of adequate number of platforms at Hisar junction. This is first such direct service from Hisar to Chandigarh in last 59 years. Since train commences twice a week at 2.15 am in the mornight from this deserted station which has only 2 staff, a station master and helper, commuters are concerned about the personality safety and the last of last mile transport connectivity.

Issues

As of August 2025, Hisar junction which has only 6 platforms does not have sufficient number of platforms to handle additional trains. Consequently, newly introduced Hisar-Chandigarh train commences from the Raipur station instead of Hisar junction. This train begins from Raipur late at night, i.e. 2:25 am, since Raipur station which has only 2 railway employees lies in the outer suburbs, the passengers have concerns about the physical safety due to the lack of lighting and lack of last-mile transport thus reducing the ridership numbers.

Present status

  • 2021 Jul: Future plans include constructing a passenger terminal at Raipur, railway sliding to cargo area of Hisar Airport and rail passenger services at Hisar Airport. The budget for Raipur-Satrod section was approved in 2025-26 pink book.
  • 2025 May: Budget for Raipur-Satrod track doubling was approved.
