raised the need for more trains connecting Chhapra/Sonpur to Delhi. The request for an Ambika Bhavani Superfast Express, Amrit Bharat Express, and Antyodaya Express connecting these cities was sent to the Railway Board by the Varanasi and Sonpur division's railway management offices. This is being considered as residents of Saran district struggle to find reserved seats on existing trains and even unreserved coaches are overcrowded. The Amrit Bharat Express is a superfast express service offered by Indian Railways. It is a non-AC sleeper and unreserved category train, designed for the common people. It consists of 22 coaches including 12 sleeper coaches, 8 general coaches, and 2 SLR coaches. Its maximum operational speed is 110-130 km/hr.

Ambika Bhavani Superfast Express, Amrit Bharat Express aur Antyodaya Express chalaane ka proposal Varanasi aur Sonpur division ke railway management offices ne Railway Board ko bheja hai.

Is train set mein 12 sleeper coaches, 8 general coaches aur 2 SLR coaches, total 22 coaches hain. Iski maximum operational speed 110-130 km/hr hai.
