Gatimaan was introduced to attract more foreign and Indian tourists coming to Agra but later train extended till Jhansi. In this route after Agra, Khajuraho attracts more foreign tourists then combined Gwalior and Jhansi but Gatimaan cannot extend further due to less SM time at Jhansi that's why new train is needed. In coming time Khajuraho VB will replace Gatimaan Exp and give better service to whole region.
