Indian Railways is preparing to start a new bi-weekly express train between Ramnagar in Uttarakhand and Kolkata in West Bengal. The proposal for this service has been sent to the Railway Board for final approval. This move will provide direct rail connectivity for people traveling between these two regions for the first time.
What is the proposed route and schedule?
The train will connect several important cities across Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and West Bengal. According to the proposal, the train will operate from Ramnagar every Tuesday and Friday, while the return journey from Kolkata will be on Thursdays and Sundays.
| Station/Detail | Information |
|---|---|
| Proposed Route | Ramnagar, Izzatnagar, Bareilly City, Pilibhit, Mailani, Gonda, Chhapra, Patna, Asansol, Kolkata |
| Frequency | Bi-weekly (Two days a week) |
| Departure (Ramnagar) | Tuesday and Friday |

Who approved the proposal and what is the goal?
The proposal was approved by Veena Sinha, the Divisional Railway Manager (DRM) of Izzatnagar. The main objective is to strengthen rail links between Kumaon, Rohilkhand, Bihar, and West Bengal. Currently, there is no direct train service available from Ramnagar to Kolkata, which makes this a significant update for passengers.
The final timetable, train number, and official stop-overs will be announced once the Railway Board gives the final green signal.
