The demand for a regular train service between Jabalpur and Raipur has been ongoing for the past eight years. A proposal to run a Vande Bharat Express train between Jabalpur and Raipur via Balaghat was prepared before the Lok Sabha elections, but it was shelved after the elections. Currently, only the...

Amarakantak Express operates between Jabalpur and Raipur, but tickets are hard to come by. The proposal for a Vande Bharat Express was rejected due to the longer travel time and limited seating capacity. The demand for a train on this route has intensified since the introduction of sleeper coaches in Vande Bharat Express trains. Organizations and representatives from Jabalpur are pushing for a direct train to Raipur. The proposed route would take nine hours to cover, with the train traveling through Balaghat. While the railway board has approved sleeper coach Vande Bharat Express trains, the route for these trains is yet to be decided. The proposal for a new train between Jabalpur and Raipur is still pending approval from the railway board. The Jabalpur division and the PNR zone are exploring the possibility of running a Vande Bharat Express with sleeper coaches between Jabalpur and Raipur, but the single track nature of the route has posed a challenge. The railway board is currently considering different routes for new Vande Bharat Express trains. Currently, there is no direct train between Jabalpur and Raipur. The Amarakantak Express, which runs between Bhopal and Raipur, passes through Jabalpur en route to Raipur. The journey takes about 10-11 hours. Tickets for the Amarakantak Express, which runs between Jabalpur and Raipur via Katni, are booked within days of the reservation opening, which happens four months in advance. During festive seasons, even waiting tickets are difficult to secure. The proposal to run a Vande Bharat Express train between Jabalpur and Raipur via Balaghat has not been finalized. However, if organizations or representatives come forward with a proposal to run a Vande Bharat Express with sleeper coaches, the proposal will be forwarded to the railway board with assistance from the West Central Zone. The decision to run a Vande Bharat Express train is made by the railway board and the PMO. The proposal to run a new train between Jabalpur and Raipur has been submitted to the board. The proposal will be evaluated considering all aspects before a decision is made. There is only one train between Jabalpur and Raipur, which is a difficult journey. Tickets are booked within days of the reservation opening, which happens four months in advance. A Vande Bharat Express train should run between Jabalpur, Balaghat, and Raipur, but the division and zone haven't shown much interest in it yet.

Jabalpur aur Raipur ke beech regular train service ki demand aaj se aath saal pehle se chal rahi hai. Lok Sabha elections se pehle Jabalpur se Raipur, Balaghat hote hue Vande Bharat Express chalaane ka proposal banaya gaya tha, par elections ke baad yeh shelved ho gaya. Abhi Jabalpur aur Raipur...

ke beech sirf Amarakantak Express chalti hai, par usme tickets milna bahut mushkil hai. Vande Bharat Express ka proposal travel time zyada aur limited seating capacity ki wajah se reject ho gaya. Sleeper coaches aane ke baad is route pe train chalane ki demand badh gayi hai. Jabalpur ke organizations aur representatives Raipur tak direct train chalane ki maang kar rahe hain. Propose kiya gaya route Balaghat se hota hua 9 ghante me complete hoga. Railway board ne sleeper coach wali Vande Bharat Express trains approve kar di hain, par unka route abhi decide nahi hua hai. Jabalpur aur Raipur ke beech new train ka proposal railway board se abhi bhi approval pending hai. Jabalpur division aur PNR zone, Jabalpur se Raipur tak sleeper coach wali Vande Bharat Express chalaane ki possibility explore kar rahe hain, par route single track hone ki wajah se abhi tak kuchh nahi ho paya. Railway board abhi new Vande Bharat Express trains ke liye different routes consider kar raha hai. Jabalpur aur Raipur ke beech aaj tak koi direct train nahi hai. Bhopal aur Raipur ke beech chalne wali Amarakantak Express Jabalpur se hoti hui Raipur jaati hai. Journey lagabhag 10-11 ghante ki hai. Jabalpur se Katni hote hue Raipur jaane wali Amarakantak Express me reservation khulne ke 4 mahine baad tickets book ho jaate hain. Festive seasons me to waiting tickets bhi milna mushkil ho gaya hai. Jabalpur aur Raipur ke beech Balaghat se hoti hui Vande Bharat Express chalane ka proposal final nahi hua hai. Par agar organisations ya representatives, sleeper coaches wali Vande Bharat Express chalane ka proposal de, to yeh proposal West Central Zone ki help se railway board ko bhej diya jayega. Vande Bharat Express chalane ka decision railway board aur PMO leta hai. Jabalpur aur Raipur ke beech new train chalane ka proposal board ko bheja gaya hai. Sabhi aspects ko consider karne ke baad is proposal pe decision liya jayega. Jabalpur aur Raipur ke beech sirf ek train chalti hai, aur woh bhi bahut mushkil journey hai. Tickets khulne ke 4 mahine baad book ho jaate hain. Jabalpur, Balaghat aur Raipur ke beech Vande Bharat Express chalaani chahiye, par abhi tak division aur zone ne isme jyada interest nahi dikhaaya hai.

Mantri effect...today this perennial late runner train is running on time bcoz MoS Tokhan Sahu will travel in it be raipur and bilaspur.
