बिहार को जल्द मिलेगी एक और अमृत भारत ट्रेन, रेलवे ने सोनपुर मंडल को भेजा प्रस्ताव

There are currently no superfast express trains running directly from Chhapra to Delhi. The Chhapra Varanasi division is the second highest revenue generating station in the region. However, a new 'Amrit Bharat' train might soon be introduced on the Chhapra - Delhi route. This proposal came after social worker Sandeep Pandey...

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.

Chhapra se Delhi ke liye abhi koi bhi superfast express train nahi hai. Chhapra Varanasi division, area mein dusra sabse zyada revenue generating station hai. Lekin jaldi hi Chhapra se Delhi ke liye ek nayi 'Amrit Bharat' train shuru ho sakti hai. Yeh proposal social worker Sandeep Pandey ki maang ke...

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. Yeh proposal isliye aaya hai kyunki Saran district ke logo ko existing trains mein reserved seats milna mushkil hota hai aur unreserved coaches bhi bahut bhari hota hai. Amrit Bharat Express, Indian Railways ki ek superfast express service hai. Ye ek non-AC sleeper aur unreserved category train hai, jisko common logo ke liye banaya gaya 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.
