This modern train will offer passengers a comfortable journey, traversing from Danapur via Patliputra Junction and Hajipur, thereby cutting down travel time. The anticipated travel duration between Patna and the border will be a mere eight hours. This initiative promises to benefit the people of Bihar, and the train is expected to be inaugurated by the Prime Minister.
