The Chandigarh-bound Vande Bharat stops at platform 7, while the Ajmer-bound train halts at platform 1 in Ambala Cantt. The Ajmer-bound train (20977) departs at 6:20 AM and arrives in Ambala Cantt at 2:03 PM and Chandigarh at 2:45 PM. The return train (20978) leaves at 3:15 PM, reaching Ambala Cantt at 3:55 PM and Ajmer at 11:55 PM. The train has scheduled stops in both directions at Jaipur, Alwar, Gurugram, Delhi Cantt, and Ambala Cantt.
