# Khatipura-Patna weekly special train from November 9 2026-11-08T01:21:25+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Indian Railways will run a weekly special train between Khatipura (Jaipur) and Patna from November 9 to November 30 to handle the festive rush during Diwali and Chhath Puja. The service will operate in both directions with 20 coaches, including one Second AC, eight Third AC, two Third AC Economy, three Sleeper, and four General class coaches. The train will depart from Khatipura every Monday at 12:00 pm and arrive in Patna the next day at 10:30 am. The return service from Patna will run every Tuesday from November 10 to December 1, departing at 12:00 pm and reaching Khatipura at 9:25 am the following day. Stations on the route include Bandikui, Bharatpur, Idgah, Tundla, Govindpuri, Subedarganj, Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Junction, Buxar, Ara and Danapur. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The four-trip special targets two major festivals on the same calendar window, but with only weekly frequency it will absorb only a fraction of the north-south migrant demand. Travellers from Jaipur district who depend on unreserved general class will get just four coaches each trip, likely leaving many standing. The service ends on December 1, after which no alternative has been announced for the tail end of the festival season. ## Coverage - udaipurtimes.com Straight announcement of train schedule and coach composition This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
