New Delhi: In view of the rising rush of passengers travelling to Bihar for Chhath Puja, the Railways has decided to run a special train from Delhi to Darbhanga. Train number 04078 Delhi-Darbhanga Special Express will be operated for one trip on Tuesday, November 10. The train will provide additional rail facility to passengers preparing to go home for the festival.

According to the timetable set by the Railways, the train will depart from Delhi Junction at 2 p.m. and reach New Delhi station at 2:20 p.m. After departing from there at 2:30 p.m., it will travel via Ghaziabad, Tundla, Govindpuri, Subedarganj, Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay Junction, Buxar, Danapur, Patna, Bakhtiyarpur, Mokama, Barauni and Samastipur, and reach Darbhanga at 6 p.m. the next day.

A total of 22 coaches have been attached to this special train. These include 11 sleeper coaches, eight general class coaches, two SLR/persons with disabilities-friendly coaches and one additional SLR coach. Arrangements have been made for both reserved and general category passengers on the train.

The Railways has advised passengers to confirm the train status, stoppages and ticket-related information before travel. Passengers can use the Railways’ NTES service or helpline number 139 for this. In view of the crowding in regular trains going to Bihar on the occasion of Chhath, this special service is expected to bring relief to passengers.
