The train will run from 23 September to 25 November 2025, covering the busy period of Dussehra, Diwali and Chhath. The service will start from Bhagalpur every Wednesday and return from Delhi every Tuesday, with a halt at Sheikhpura Junction.

Railways has also planned more special trains from Howrah and Kolkata to manage heavy passenger traffic.
At the same time, some trains will be cancelled due to non-interlocking work at Raigarh station.
