New trains to connect Ahmedabad with Agra and Udhampur

Janmabhoomi train would connect Ahmedabad and Udhampur every week linking Jodhpur, Phalodi, Lalgarh, Biradhwal, Pilibanga, Mahajan, Suratgarh, Hanumangarh, Bhatinda, Faridkot, Firozpur, Jalandher, Chakki bank, Samba, Bari Brahman and Jammu-Tawi before Udhampur.

One Bharat teerth train announced is Ahmedabad related. The train would connect Ahmedbaad-Puri-Kolkata-Gangasagar-Varanasi-Allahabad-Indore-Omkareshwar-Ujjain-Ahmedabad

Amdavadis who want to visit Agra would have direct facility of train as Mamata Banerjee also declared a train connecting Ahmedabad and Agra in her budget speech.

Another Ahmedabad related development is that the 2933/2934 Ahmedabad-Mumabai Central express train’s frequency has been increased from six days to daily.
