Presenting to all of my viewers and subscribers ,
The Inaugural Run of the #13129/30 UP Kolkata - Khulna Bandhan Express.
A second bond of friendship, is a clear indication on behalf of both the neighbouring countries. This route had been tested for such a train with a trial back in July,2017 and rumours of such a train via Bongaon had been there since 2016.
Coming to the details of this train , it will take 5 hours approx to complete it's journey from Kolkata to Khulna. Since it is a day-returning train , it will return to Kolkata by 6.10pm in the evening.
As for now, the train is being run as a Weekly using the rake of the Kolkata - Dhaka Maitree Express. Running via Bongaon - Petrapole - Benapole and with a passenger capacity of 465 persons it is projected to be a good way of transport between the two countries.
The rake is fully AC LHB consisting of 5 AC Chair Car Coaches and 5 AC Executive Coaches. The price shall be 10 and 15 US Dollars respectively. Since whole of the route is not electrified (Bangladesh Railways) , so a Burdwan based WDM-3A #16557 took the charge of the train.
