Ahmedabad, 24 February 2014
Reports suggest, Gujarat state’s commercial capital Ahmedabad will soon be connected to Rajasthan’s Jodhpur through newly launched Shatabdi Express. On Saturday one rake for this service has been allocated to Jodhpur Bhagat Ki Kothi station. As Lok Sabha elections are approaching, and model code of conduct is likely to be imposed in first week of March, the train is likely to be flagged off this week.
Existing Mumbai-Ahmedabad Shatabdi express train reaches Ahmedabad railway station at around 1.00 pm. Ahmedabad-Jodhpur Shatabdi train is likely to be operated at 2.00 pm from Ahmedabad railway station. This will provide connectivity to Mumbai passengers.
New Ahmedabad-Jodhpur train will leave Jodhpur at 5.00 am and reach Ahmedabad at 12.30 pm. The train will leave Ahmedabad at 1.00 pm and reach Jodhpur in evening. While other trains take 9.05 hours time to connect two cities, the new train will take just around 7 hours.
