New Tracks, New Hope: Bihar Gets 4 New Amrit Bharat Express Trains

Fast, affordable, and built for Bharat — that’s the new promise on rails.

In a major leap for rail connectivity and comfort, four new Amrit Bharat Express trains have been launched in Bihar, offering passengers a fresh, upgraded travel experience. Designed with the common traveller in mind, these trains aim to bridge distances while ensuring comfort and accessibility for cities often left behind.

Here Are the Four New Routes You Should Know

Each route has been carefully planned to serve key regions in Bihar and nearby states:

1. Rajendra Nagar Terminal (Patna) to New Delhi

2. Bapudham Motihari to Delhi (Anand Vihar Terminal)

3. Darbhanga to Lucknow (Gomti Nagar)

4. Malda Town to Lucknow (Gomti Nagar) via Bhagalpur

These routes will not only benefit regular passengers but also help students, job seekers, and business travellers looking for dependable rail options.

Why This Matters: More Than Just New Trains

The launch of these trains is part of an ongoing effort to modernise India’s vast rail network. With Bihar being a crucial hub of mobility in eastern India, the Amrit Bharat Express ensures:

• Lower fares

• Reliable service

It’s a balance of affordability and functionality—perfect for long-distance routes.
