Passengers traveling from Patna, Bihar, to Nepal will soon benefit from a new Vande Bharat Express service. The train will offer luxurious travel, starting from Danapur and passing through Patliputra Junction and Hajipur, significantly reducing travel time to just eight hours. This service will provide relief to residents of Seemanchal. The Prime Minister is expected to flag off the train soon.
The Vande Bharat train will operate between Danapur station and Jogbani, offering convenience to travelers. The train will depart from Jogbani in the morning and reach Danapur in the afternoon after an approximately 8-hour journey. On its return journey, it will depart from Danapur and arrive in Jogbani at night. Plans are underway to introduce a 16-rake Vande Bharat train due to high demand on this route.
The train will travel from Danapur to Jogbani, passing through Patliputra, Hajipur, Muzaffarpur, Samastipur, Saharsa, Madhepura, and Purnia. While the exact route and timings are yet to be officially announced, the train is likely to be inaugurated during the Prime Minister’s visit for the Purnia Airport inauguration.
The introduction of the Vande Bharat train will ease travel for those traveling from Patna to Nepal. Jogbani station is located near the India-Nepal border, allowing people to reach the border on foot.
