India’s Busiest Train Route: The Indian Railways operates train services to facilitate movement between almost all stations in the country. The major routes are Delhi-Kolkata, Delhi-Mumbai, Delhi-Chennai, Howrah-Chennai, etc. Hundreds of cities are connected by rail through these routes. But today we will tell you about the story of a route that is said to be the busiest in the country. Within 24 hours, 57 trains run on this route. These include Vande Bharat, Shatabdi, and Rajdhani trains. You can gauge the busy nature of this route from the fact that there is one Vande Bharat train, two Shatabdi trains, and eight Rajdhani trains operating on this route.

This route is referred to as the backbone of Indian Railways. Not only that, but the tracks on this route are also suitable for running trains at the highest speed. The length of this route is about 440 km, and the Vande Bharat train covers this distance in just 4 hours and 08 minutes. This means the average speed of Vande Bharat on this route exceeds 100 km per hour.

According to the railways, the busiest routes in the country are from Delhi to Howrah and Delhi to Mumbai. The maximum number of trains runs on these routes, but the most trains operate for the city of Kanpur on the Howrah route. A total of 88 trains operate between the capital city of Delhi and Kanpur. However, this includes trains that run one, two, and three days a week. If we talk about daily running trains, this number is 57.

Vande Bharat, Shatabdi, Rajdhani, and Gatimaan, all categories of trains are included in the trains running on the New Delhi-Kanpur route. All the trains heading east depart from Delhi’s three major stations, New Delhi, Anand Vihar, and Old Delhi.
