The South Western Railway has put forth a proposal for a new express train service connecting Mysuru to Virangana Lakshmibai Jhansi, scheduled to commence on October 20, 2026. This one-way service aims to accommodate the increasing passenger demand and facilitate the transfer of the train rake. The proposal has been submitted to the Railway Board for approval, but it has not yet received official sanction or been assigned a train number.
According to the proposal, the train will depart from Mysuru at 17:00 on Tuesday, making its way through several key locations before arriving in Jhansi at 10:00 on Thursday. The total journey time is estimated to be around 41 hours. The train will consist of 20 coaches, designed to handle the anticipated passenger load effectively.
The proposed route for the train includes several significant stops: Bengaluru, Dharmavaram, Secunderabad, Kazipet, Balharshah, Nagpur, Itarsi, Bhopal, and Jhansi. Notably, the train will make technical halts at Jujharpur and Bina, ensuring necessary operational checks along the way. The detailed timetable outlines the arrival and departure times at each station, providing clarity for potential passengers.
This new service is expected to have a considerable impact on travel convenience for passengers in the region, particularly those traveling between Mysuru and Jhansi. The inclusion of major cities in the route enhances connectivity, making it easier for travelers to access various destinations along the way. The proposal is seen as a strategic move to alleviate congestion on existing routes and improve overall rail service efficiency.
Looking ahead, the Railway Board's decision on the proposal will be crucial. If approved, further details regarding the train's operational schedule and ticketing will be made available closer to the launch date. Stakeholders are optimistic about the potential benefits this service could bring to regional transportation, enhancing the travel experience for many commuters.
