हफ्ते में तीन दिन आगरा तक चलेगी जोधपुर-साबरमती वंदे भारत एक्सप्रेस, रेलवे बोर्ड की मुहर लगना बाकी

Due to low passenger occupancy on Vande Bharat Express trains in Rajasthan, North Western Railway has proposed extending the routes of two trains to Agra. The Udaipur-based Vande Bharat train already operates to Agra, and now the Jodhpur-Sabarmati train is also planned to run to Agra three days a week, pending...

approval from the Railway Board. This decision aims to improve passenger convenience and reduce travel time, as the Agra route has higher demand. The Jodhpur-Agra route will be convenient for passengers, eliminating the need for train changes and providing a direct connection. The Udaipur-Agra route will continue to operate three days a week, and the Jodhpur-Sabarmati train will operate to Agra on the remaining three days. The Railway Board will decide the final schedule and fares once the proposal is approved.

Rajasthan mein Vande Bharat Express train mein passengers kam aarahe hain, isliye North Western Railway ne do trains ke routes ko Agra tak badhane ka proposal banaya hai. Udaipur se chalne wali Vande Bharat train pehle se hi Agra tak jaati hai, aur ab Jodhpur se Sabarmati tak chalne wali train...

bhi hafte mein teen din Agra tak chalne wali hai, Railway Board se approval milne ke baad. Yeh decision passengers ki convenience badhane aur travel time kam karne ke liye liya gaya hai, kyunki Agra route pe demand jyada hai. Jodhpur-Agra route passengers ke liye convenient hoga, train badalne ki zarurat nahi padegi aur direct connection milega. Udaipur-Agra route pehle ki tarah teen din chalega, aur Jodhpur-Sabarmati train baki teen din Agra tak chalegi. Railway Board proposal approve hone ke baad final schedule aur fares decide karega.

यूपी का ये शहर बनाएगा रिकॉर्ड, 4 वंदेभारत सिर्फ इसी रेलवे स्टेशन से चल रही, वें Vande Bharat और 1 वंदे मेट्रो की तैयारी शुरू

Agra will become India's first city to operate five Vande Bharat Express services and one Vande Metro train by the end of 2024. Two new services are planned to begin before Diwali this year: a Vande Metro to Lucknow and a Vande Bharat to Jodhpur. The Jodhpur-Agra Vande Bharat will...

extend the existing Jodhpur-Sabarmati service, operating on days when the Udaipur Vande Bharat is not running from Agra. The Vande Metro service will operate six days a week, but it's unclear where maintenance will be done. The exact routes, fares, and timetables for all services are yet to be announced. Currently, the Lucknow-Agra Intercity Express (12179/12180) operates between Lucknow Junction (LJN) and Agra Fort (AF), taking around 5 hours and 54 minutes to cover 326 km. This train stops at 14 major stations including Kanpur Central (CNB), Unnao Junction (ON), Panaki Dham (PNKD), and Rura (RURA).

Agra 2024 ke end tak India ka pehla city ban jaayega jahan 5 Vande Bharat Express services aur 1 Vande Metro train chalegi. Is saal Diwali se pehle Agra se Lucknow tak ek Vande Metro aur Jodhpur tak ek Vande Bharat chalu hone wali hai. Jodhpur-Agra Vande Bharat existing Jodhpur-Sabarmati...

Sabhi services ke liye exact route, fare aur timetable alag se announce kiye jaayenge. Abhi, Lucknow-Agra Intercity Express (12179/12180) Lucknow Junction (LJN) aur Agra Fort (AF) ke beech chalti hai, aur 326 km ki journey poori karne mein 5 ghante aur 54 minutes lagte hai.
