Gorakhpur-Delhi Amrit Bharat Express: Check train number, route, stops and timings
The Indian Ministry of Railways has announced plans to launch a new Amrit Bharat Express train connecting Gorakhpur and Delhi. This new service, scheduled to commence operation soon, aims to provide affordable travel options for passengers belonging to lower and lower-middle income brackets.
Approved by the Railway Board on August 10, 2026, the new train will be operated by the North Eastern Railway. Its journey will span approximately 780 kilometers, with a travel duration of around 14 hours, maintaining a maximum speed of 130 kmph. Compared to the existing Chhapra-Anand Vihar Terminal Amrit Bharat Express, which takes about 18 hours 45 minutes to cover the same distance, the Gorakhpur-Delhi Amrit Bharat Express promises significantly faster travel.
The train route will pass through Gonda, and it will operate once a week. Departing from Gorakhpur on Thursdays at 10:45 pm, the train will arrive in Delhi at 12:50 pm the following day. The return journey from Delhi will be serviced by train 15096 on Fridays, departing at 2:00 pm and arriving at Gorakhpur at 6:25 am on Saturday. This 8-stop express train will make halts at Khalilabad, Basti, Gonda, Burhwal, Sitapur, Bareilly, Moradabad, and Ghaziabad.
