Indian Railways has announced a new bi-weekly summer special train to handle the seasonal rush between Gorakhpur and New Delhi. This service will operate for a total of 29 trips starting from the first week of April. The initiative is expected to provide significant relief to passengers from the Purvanchal region who travel to the national capital for work or personal reasons during the peak summer months.
Train schedule and operational details
The summer special train will run under the numbers 05101 and 05102. According to the official schedule, the service will start on April 7 and will remain active until July 15.

The train will operate as a bi-weekly service to ensure regular connectivity between the two cities.
