The Western Railways will run two special trains between Mumbai, Maharashtra, and Ahmedabad, Gujarat, on January 25 and 26.

An official told news agency PTI on Thursday that though the two trains are "winter specials" as per the Railway Board's directive, they are being operated to accommodate the extra passengers in view of the Coldplay concerts on January 25 and 26 at Narendra Modi stadium.
