As per the new schedule, the first train service will begin at 6.30 am and the last train will depart at 10 pm. ‘First train service from both the ends (Majlis Park and Shiv Vihar) will commence at 6:30 am (instead of present 6:00 am). Similarly, the last train service from both the ends will start at 10:00 pm (instead of 11:00 pm at present),’ DRMC said in a tweet.
