Tejas Express to also stop at Ghaziabad railway station

LUCKNOW: The New Delhi bound Tejas Express-—which starts operations in September—will now stop at Ghaziabad railway station as well.


The two-minute stoppage at Ghaziabad was added to the train’s journey after a railway survey recently found that majority of the passengers travelling between New Delhi and Lucknow de-board their train at Ghaziabad railway station.





Earlier, the train was to ply between Lucknow Junction and Anand Vihar Terminal Railway Station. However, the last stoppage of the express train was later changed to New Delhi Railway Station .

Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (Lucknow region) chief manager Ashwini Srivastava said, “Given the new stoppage at Ghaziabad, Tejas Express would depart from Lucknow Junction at 6.10am and will reach Kanpur at 7.20am. After a 10-minute stop at Kanpur, it will reach Ghaziabad at 11.43am. The train will leave the station after two minutes and would reach New Delhi Railway Station at 12.25pm.” The Tejas Express will operate five days a week.

The train’s interiors will be equipped with various facilities like LED screens attached to seats, station announcements, directions to coaches and seats in Braille and mineral water dispensers among others.
