A new weekly train will start running between Gorakhpur and Vadodara starting on October 28th, 2023. This train will be called the "Gorakhpur-Vadodara Weekly Special" and will operate every Saturday. It will leave Gorakhpur at 6:30 PM and arrive in Vadodara at 8:55 AM the next day.
The train will have 21 coaches, including 12 sleeper class coaches, 6 general class coaches, 2 luggage vans, and one guard's van. The train is expected to benefit people traveling between these two cities, especially those who work or have family in either location.
Western Railway has increased the frequency of 11 pairs of special trains. These trains were introduced to help people travel during the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, they will run more often to meet the growing demand for train travel.
The trains will run on different routes, connecting major cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Ahmedabad, and others. Some trains will run daily, while others will operate on alternate days.
The Railway Ministry says this change will make train travel easier and more convenient for passengers. They also say that the added frequency is a response to the increasing number of people who want to travel by train.
