There is great news for passengers traveling between Bihar and Gujarat. Indian Railways has decided not to stop the Bhagalpur-Gandhidham Weekly Special Express. Earlier, there was a plan to discontinue this train from March 9, but now that decision has been reversed. The train will continue to run as a Holi Special to help people reach home during the festival. This extension comes as a relief for thousands of passengers who rely on this service to visit their families.
Bhagalpur Gandhidham Special Train Dates and Timing
The Malda Railway Division has confirmed that there are no changes to the train’s route or stops. Train number 09451 runs from Gandhidham to Bhagalpur. It will depart on Fridays, specifically on March 6, 13, 20, and 27. The train leaves Gandhidham at 5:40 PM and reaches Bhagalpur at 8:15 PM on the third day.
From the other side, Train number 09452 departs from Bhagalpur on Mondays. The dates for departure are March 9, 16, 23, and 30. It leaves Bhagalpur at 5:00 AM and reaches Gandhidham at 8:00 AM on the third day. Since this is a special fare train, passengers should check the ticket prices before booking as they are usually different from regular trains.
Route and Extra Trains for Holi Rush
This train is very important for people in Bihar. It covers key stations like Sultanganj, Munger, Begusarai, Barauni, Samastipur, Muzaffarpur, Motihari, and Bettiah. It also stops at major cities like Gorakhpur, Lucknow, Kanpur, and Kota. This route helps thousands of workers and families travel comfortably.

Another special train will run between SMVB Bengaluru and Malda Town. In total, more than 22,300 extra berths are being made available so that everyone can get a confirmed ticket for Holi.
