Indian Railways will roll out seven new trains on September 29 to enhance connectivity in poll-bound Bihar, including three Amrit Bharat Express services. The move is expected to significantly improve passenger convenience within the state while also strengthening inter-state links with Telangana, Rajasthan, and Delhi. All the new trains will be operated and maintained by the East Central Railway (ECR) zone.
Out of the seven new services, four trains will operate entirely within Bihar, connecting important cities and towns. The other three Amrit Bharat Express trains will run on longer routes, linking Bihar to major destinations across India.
