Indian Railways Adds Second Vande Bharat Special Train on Delhi-Patna Route for Festivals
Indian Railways has introduced a second Vande Bharat Special train between New Delhi and Patna to manage increased passenger demand during Diwali and Chhath Puja. Operating three days a week from October 21 to November 26, the train covers 995 km in about 13 hours with six stops including Aligarh, Kanpur Central, and Prayagraj. Additional trips will run before the regular schedule begins, providing faster travel options and easing congestion on this busy route during the festive season.
