New Express Train to Link North and South Bengal
Imagine a brand-new train that's like a super-speedy bus, but on tracks!
This new train will travel between two places in Bengal, making it faster and easier to get from one place to the other.
It's the first train to go straight between these two stations.
It will also use a new bridge, which will make the trip even quicker.
The first train will run in June 2025, and then regular trains will run every week.
This is expected to help students, people who sell goods, and tourists.
Indian Railways is launching a new express train between Jalpaiguri Road and Sealdah.
The train will be the first to operate end-to-end between the two stations.
It will also be the first express service to use the Nashipur Rail Bridge.
The inaugural special train will run on June 14, 2025.
Regular service begins June 20, with trains running weekly in both directions.
