Passengers travelling on the Darbhanga-New Delhi route have a new travel update to note as Indian Railways has announced a service enhancement for the Bihar Sampark Kranti Superfast Express. Starting from August 19, 2026, train number 12565 will now include a scheduled halt at Karpoori Gram station to improve connectivity for local commuters in the region.
- Train Name: Bihar Sampark Kranti Superfast Express (12565)
- New Stoppage: Karpoori Gram Station
- Effective Date: August 19, 2026
- Halt Duration: Two minutes
- Location Details: Approximately seven kilometres after Samastipur
Enhanced Connectivity for Local Commuters
The introduction of this two-minute halt is expected to benefit residents in the vicinity of Karpoori Gram, providing them with direct access to one of the most prominent superfast trains connecting Bihar to the national capital. While the station is smaller in scale compared to major nearby hubs like Khudiram Bose Pusa, the inclusion of this stop reflects the railway’s commitment to improving regional accessibility.
Significance of the New Halt
The decision to allot a stoppage at this specific station has generated significant local interest. Many observers believe that the move serves as a symbolic tribute to the late Jan Nayak Karpoori Thakur, the former Chief Minister of Bihar, after whom the station is named. By integrating this stop into the schedule of the **Bihar Sampark Kranti Superfast Express**, the authorities are not only facilitating travel but also acknowledging the historical and cultural significance of the location.
Passengers are advised to check the updated schedule on the **IRCTC website or the NTES app** before planning their journey to ensure they have the most accurate timing for arrivals and departures at Karpoori Gram. This development is part of a broader effort by Indian Railways to optimize station halts and improve the overall passenger experience across the network.
