What is the new schedule for the train?
The updated schedule for the express train is as follows:
| Train Number | Route | Days of Operation |
|---|---|---|
| 22407 | Ambikapur to Hazrat Nizamuddin | Tuesday and Thursday |
| 22408 | Hazrat Nizamuddin to Ambikapur | Sunday and Tuesday |
How does this benefit Sagar and nearby areas?
Passengers from Sagar, Damoh, and Katni will now have more options to travel to Delhi. The train departs Hazrat Nizamuddin around 11 PM and reaches Sagar by 8:30 AM the next morning. This overnight journey is more comfortable for students, job seekers, and traders. Business people no longer have to rely solely on the Gondwana Express, which usually requires them to leave for the station around 3 PM.
Who advocated for this change?
Sagar MP Dr. Lata Vankhede raised this demand with the Railway Ministry to improve connectivity. ZRUCC member Mukesh Tiwari mentioned that this move will directly benefit people from Ambikapur, Surajpur, Baikunthpur, Anuppur, and Shahdol. The Railway Board has already instructed the concerned zones to implement this change and inform the passengers.
