Indian Railways is rolling out seven new trains in Bihar starting Monday, boosting travel options for folks in this key election state. Among them, three shiny Amrit Bharat Express services will connect Bihar to big cities across India, while four others focus on linking up towns and cities right within the state.
These additions promise smoother rides and stronger rail ties for Bihar passengers. You’ll see better links to places in Telangana, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, and even Delhi. The East Central Railway zone will handle all operations and upkeep for these fresh routes.
