Indian Railways cancelled several Mail and Express trains arriving at New Delhi and Hazrat Nizamuddin stations between 4 am and 2 pm on October 10.
The railway order said the move was due to anticipated severe road traffic congestion around the stations.
The cancellations came as the Cockroach Janta Party planned a protest at Jantar Mantar demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
Delhi Police denied permission for the protest and requested the closure of 57 metro stations and reduced train frequencies.
Western Railway also rescheduled two Mumbai-Delhi Rajdhani Express trains and cancelled other express services ahead of the protest.
Railway officials have not confirmed whether the cancellations were directly linked to the demonstrations.
The INDIA bloc separately accused the Election Commission of voter disenfranchisement and planned to meet President Droupadi Murmu to seek Gyanesh Kumar's resignation.
