This is one of the trains that covers the longest distance daily.
New Delhi: Do you know that there is a train in Indian Railways that travels through 9 states every day, stops at 88 stations, and reaches its destination in four days and three nights? We are talking about the 15909/15910 Avadh Assam Express, which is one of the most interesting trains in India. This train operates from Dibrugarh (Assam) to Lalgarh (Rajasthan). The journey spans approximately 3100 kilometers, taking the train about 65 to 66 hours, i.e., four days and three nights. Along the way, this train stops at 88 railway stations, with each stop lasting between 2 and 5 minutes. On average, the train spends more than 4 hours just in stoppages.
The same train, the same number, but it runs three times! The most special thing about the Avadh Assam Express is that it is one of the trains that covers the longest distance daily. Its journey is so long that it requires three different train sets to run it every day. When one train is en route, the second departs from the same source station on the same day or the next day, and the third begins its journey on the third day again.
All three trains operate under the same name (Avadh Assam Express) and number (15909/15910). In this way, Indian Railways operates three identical trains on the same route at the same time.
The journey of this train is not only long but also extremely interesting. The Avadh Assam Express crosses through 9 states on its route, including Assam, Nagaland, West Bengal, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, and Rajasthan. Seeing this train truly feels like not just a journey, but a moving representation of India.
No matter how long the train is, there is no shortage of travelers. The Awadh Assam Express is always crowded with passengers and its seats are often full. Especially during festivals, holidays, and summertime, getting a ticket becomes a challenge.
