The Indian Railways is preparing to extend three trains to Barhni, a town in Siddharthnagar district of Uttar Pradesh. The trains in question are the Gorakhpur-Pune, Gorakhpur-LTT and Gorakhpur-Shalimar Expresses.

at Gorakhpur Junction, which has been facing increasing pressure from a growing number of trains. The Gorakhpur-Asansol Express is also being considered for extension to Bahraich. This would create a direct train connection to Bahraich, which currently requires passengers to change trains at Gonda. The extensions will not only improve connectivity for passengers but also alleviate congestion at Gorakhpur Junction.

Indian Railways abhi UP ke Siddharthnagar district mein Barhni tak teen trains ko extend karne ki taiyaari kar raha hai. Yeh trains hain Gorakhpur-Pune, Gorakhpur-LTT aur Gorakhpur-Shalimar Express. In extensions se Barhni aur Gorakhpur ke beech wale stations ke passengers ko in trains ki facility mil jaayegi, aur Gorakhpur Junction pe...

platform space bhi khali ho jaayega, kyunki bahut saari trains aati jaati hain aur space kam pad raha hai. Gorakhpur-Asansol Express ko Bahraich tak extend karne pe bhi socha ja raha hai. Isse Bahraich tak direct train connection mil jaayega, jisko aajkal Gonda pe train badalni padti hai. Yeh extension se passengers ko accha connectivity milega aur Gorakhpur Junction pe bheed bhi kam ho jaayegi.

पुरी-टाटानगर वंदे भारत ट्रेन जल्द चलेगी, रेलवे बोर्ड ने भेजा कोच

The Indian Railways is gearing up to launch a Vande Bharat Express train between Puri and Tatanagar. The 64th Vande Bharat Express train rake has been ordered to be dispatched to Puri immediately, allowing the launch of the Puri-Tatanagar route alongside the existing Tatanagar-Patna route. Additionally, the Railway Board has...

authorized the construction of a new maintenance center for Vande Bharat trains at Shalimar. This new center will facilitate the deployment of Vande Bharat trains on other routes. Meanwhile, the Tatanagar washing line number one is being upgraded. Currently, there are 17 Vande Bharat train rakes ready for operation. While the Ranchi-Howrah Vande Bharat train already runs via Tatanagar, new Vande Bharat trains are expected to run from Howrah to Rourkela and Barbil via Tatanagar. The South Eastern Railway Zone has conducted a survey for the potential introduction of Vande Bharat trains on several routes. The train rake for the Tatanagar-Patna route arrived three days ago and is currently stationed at the Chakradharpur Railway Division headquarters. Trial runs will be conducted once the necessary traction facilities are available at the washing line.

Puri aur Tatanagar ke beech Vande Bharat Express train chalane ki taiyaari Railway Board mein shuru ho gayi hai. Puri-Tatanagar route ke saath-saath Tatanagar-Patna route par bhi Vande Bharat chalane ke liye 64th Vande Bharat train rake ko Puri bhej diye jaane ka order diya gaya hai. Iske saath hi,...

Railway Board ne Shalimar mein Vande Bharat trains ke liye ek naye maintenance center banane ka order diya hai. Is naye center se, Vande Bharat trains ko dusre routes par bhi chalane mein aasaan hoga. Iske alawa, Tatanagar washing line number one ko upgrade kiya ja raha hai. Is waqt 17 Vande Bharat train rakes chalne ke liye tayyar hain. Halanki, Ranchi-Howrah Vande Bharat train Tatanagar se hoke chalta hai, lekin Tatanagar se Howrah se Rourkela aur Barbil tak nayi Vande Bharat train chalaane ki ummeed hai. South Eastern Railway Zone ne kai routes par Vande Bharat trains chalane ke liye survey kiya hai. Tatanagar-Patna route ki train rake teen din pehle aa gayi thi aur abhi Chakradharpur Railway Division headquarters ke yard mein khadi hai. Jab washing line mein traction facility available ho jayegi tab trial runs kiye jaayenge.

If this train runs from Howrah to Barbil, then it should go to Howrah from Barbil in morning and return from Howrah to Barbil at evening. Otherwise it will become clone of train 12021/2 Howrah - Barbil Janshatabdi Express and not get passengers. Another option is to run it from Kendujhargarh to Howrah.
