The Amrit Bharat Express—a push-pull trainset with locomotives on either side

The Amrit Bharat Express is a class of superfast, non-air-conditioned, low-cost, sleeper-cum unreserved services connecting cities that are more than 800 km apart

It has a maximum operating speed of 110 to 130 kmph and the trainset provides improved facilities for better-designed seats and luggage racks for increasing volume, mobile charging points with mobile holders, LED lights, CCTV, a public information system and is a vestibule train

The trainsets are manufactured by Integral Coach Factory in Chennai and the production of 200 more such trains is in progress, with 50 under construction and 150 more planned

The Amrit Bharat train will operate via Samastipur, Muzaffarpur, Danapur, Buxar and Deen Dayal Upadhyaya (formerly Mughalsarai) stations

With two locomotives attached on either side, the train cuts down the time of reversal as it can move in either direction

This is the country’s third Amrit Bharat train

The train will operate via Samastipur, Muzaffarpur, Danapur, Buxar and Deen Dayal Upadhyaya (formerly Mughalsarai) stations
