Benapole Express (Train no. 795-796) is a non-stop intercity train which runs between Dhaka (capital of Bangladesh) and Benapole. The train connects capital to an important Land port of Bangladesh
History
There was no train service directly from Benapole to Dhaka. So Bangladesh government had decided to operate a new intercity train on Dhaka-Benapole route as the existing train makes 14 stops, taking the total travel time to 10 to 12 hours In order to reach Dhaka, the passengers of India are facing extreme suffering. The only road to travel depends on the bus. This breakthrough move saves at least 3 to 4 hours as Benapole Express is reaching its destination within 7–8 hours making only two stopovers at Airport and Iswardi station. The Benapole Express has been scheduled to run non-stop for six days every week.
Naming
The train is named after its final destination. At first, a few names including Bandar Express, Ichhamati Express and Benapole Express were proposed but Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina had finalized the name Benapole Express.
