For the first time, special Vande Bharat train is being operated from Patna to New Delhi. It is expected that the starting of puja special Vande Bharat by Railways will provide a lot of relief to the passengers.
Only one train is being operated from Siwan to Patna.
Siwan Junction is an important station of North Eastern Railway. This junction is also important because the travelers of Gopalganj district also start and end their journey from here, but there is a severe lack of facilities here. The biggest problem is faced by the passengers going from Siwan to the capital Patna. The reason is that the rail line from Siwan to Patna was started only four years ago.
This makes the journey from Siwan to Patliputra station straightforward, but no train runs from Siwan to Patna. With the opening of the railway line, a passenger train was run from Gorakhpur to Patliputra station, but it was later stopped.
A few days later, a superfast train was also started from Lucknow to Patliputra station. In this way, the journey from Siwan to Patna is being done by only one train. In this, the Superfast Express arrives at Siwan Junction at 11:50 am and reaches Patliputra at 2:50 pm, while from Patliputra this train departs at 3:50 pm and reaches Siwan at 6:15 pm.
At least a dozen trains are required for Patliputra station from Siwan or via Siwan, only then it will be easy for the people of Siwan to travel to Patna and they will not have to wait for trains to come or go to Patna.
