New Delhi-Ludhiana Shatabdi Express via Sangrur to be introduced on Nov 4

NEW DELHI: Railways will introduce a Shatabdi Express between New Delhi and Ludhiana on November 4, with its inaugural run to be flagged off by Congress leader Manish Tiwari.

Tiwari, an MP from Ludhiana, will flag off the train from there, said a Northern Railway official.

The train will depart from Ludhiana daily at 4.40pm and reach New Delhi at 10.05pm the same day.

In the return direction, it will depart from New Delhi at 7.00am to reach Ludhiana at 12.20pm, stopping at Rohtak and Sangrur stations in both the directions.

The introduction of the train had been announced in the Railway Budget this year.


Northern Railway senior divisional commercial manager MM Singh said the fact that the Ludhiana-New Delhi Shatabdi express had found a mention in the new timetable itself was an indication the train would begin running very soon. "At the most, it shouldn’t take more than a month or so. But we will give out the exact timeframe for the new train as and when it’s announced by Indian Railways’ headquarters in New Delhi”, he added.


According to information available till now, the new 12037/12038 Shatabdi express will run via Sangrur and Rohtak (which will be commercial stoppages as well) instead of the traditional Ambala-Panipat-Karnal route. The down train will leave Ludhiana at 4:40 pm to arrive in New Delhi at 10:05 pm while on the return journey it will leave New Delhi at 7:00 am and arrive in Ludhiana at 12:20 pm.
