Indian Railways has announced the operation of a special train between Gandhidham and Bhagalpur to accommodate the extra rush of passengers during the summer season. This service will run from April 17 to May 11, providing a convenient travel option for people heading towards Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Bihar. The initiative is part of the department’s effort to manage the heavy footfall of travelers during the vacation period.
What is the schedule and route of the Gandhidham-Bhagalpur Special?
The train service is scheduled to operate for nearly a month, starting from April 17 and ending on May 11. It will connect major stations such as Ahmedabad, Gangapur City, Barauni, and Samastipur. This special service is designed to help passengers avoid the heavy waiting lists common during the peak summer travel months. Official reports confirm that the train will cater to travelers moving across the western and eastern corridors of the country.
Which cities in Uttar Pradesh will benefit from this service?
To ensure wider connectivity, the railway department has included several additional halts in Uttar Pradesh. These stops will provide relief to travelers in several cities as mentioned below:
- Bareilly City
- Izzatnagar
- Pilibhit
- Mailani
- Sitapur
The inclusion of these stations makes it easier for residents of these regions to travel towards both Gandhidham and Bhagalpur without needing multiple transfers. This decision addresses the long standing demand for better connectivity from these smaller urban centers during peak travel seasons.
