New Train Announcement: Indian Railways launches night special service from Muzaffarpur to Narkatiaganj
The Samastipur Division of East Central Railway has introduced a new Extra Rush Clearance Special train on the Muzaffarpur-Narkatiaganj route. This service started in late May 2026 to help passengers who often get stranded at Muzaffarpur Junction late at night. The decision followed reports from Dainik Jagran and a surprise inspection by the DRM of Samastipur Division.
What are the timings and route of the new special train?
The train operates daily between Muzaffarpur and Narkatiaganj to provide connectivity for passengers heading towards Bettiah and Motihari. The schedule is as follows:
| Direction | Departure Time | Arrival Time | Key Stoppages |
|---|---|---|---|
| Narkatiaganj to Muzaffarpur | 6:45 PM | 10:20 PM | Chanpatia, Bettiah, Sagauli, Bapudham Motihari, Chakia, Mehsí, Motipur |
| Muzaffarpur to Narkatiaganj | 10:35 PM | 2:30 AM | Kanti, Motipur, Chakia, Bapudham Motihari |
Future plans for route extension and infrastructure
Railway officials are considering extending the route of this special train up to Gorakhpur in the future. To further improve connectivity in the Champaran region, two new MEMU trains were also launched on May 18, 2026, connecting Narkatiaganj to Darbhanga and extending the Sikta-Muzaffarpur service. Additionally, a modern washing pit is being constructed at Narkatiaganj, expected to be ready by 2027, which will allow more long-distance trains to start from this station.
