GUWAHATI: The Tejas Rajdhani Express, which operates between Agartala and Anand Vihar Terminal, is set to alter its route through Malda Town, Bhagalpur Jn., and Jamalpur Jn. via Patna Jn. starting from January 15, 2024. The decision to divert the route aims to address longstanding demands from a substantial population in West Bengal and Bihar, who were previously deprived of the convenience of traveling on Rajdhani Express trains.
With this route diversion, there have been changes in timings and total journey duration. Train no. 20501 (Agartala- Anand Vihar Terminal) is scheduled to commence its journey from Agartala on January 15, 2024, Monday, at 15:10 hours, reaching Anand Vihar Terminal in Delhi on Wednesday at 10:50 hours.
Likewise, train no. 20502 (Anand Vihar Terminal- Agartala) will embark on its journey from Anand Vihar Terminal in Delhi on Wednesday at 19:50 hours, reaching Agartala in Tripura on Friday at 15:40 hours.
The revised route will significantly enhance the geographic connectivity of Tripura, Assam, West Bengal, and Bihar with the national capital. Details regarding stoppages and timings for these trains can be accessed on the IRCTC website.
