There is no room in all trains between Patna and Delhi during Diwali and Chhath. In such a situation, the railway has tried to provide relief to the passengers trying to get tickets by releasing the schedule of a special Vande Bharat train between Patna and Delhi for the first time.
The train will cover the journey from Delhi to Patna in about 11 and a half hours. However, passengers will have to complete the journey from Delhi to Patna by sitting, because the train running as a special train will not be Sleeper Vande Bharat. Sleeper Vande Bharat is currently in the trial phase and it is expected that after the trial is completed, that train will be made regular in place of this special Vande Bharat.
The Railway Ministry has issued a letter to run the Delhi Patna Vande Bharat Express train as a special train on a trial basis, stopping at Ara and Buxar Junction under the Railway Division. The train will leave from Delhi on October 30 and November 1, 3 and 6 and from Patna to Delhi on October 2, 4 and 7 after October 31. In between, the train has been given stoppages at Ara, Buxar, DDU, Prayagraj and Kanpur.
