The train will connect several major cities, including Jalandhar, Ludhiana, Ambala, Saharanpur, Moradabad, Lucknow and Gorakhpur, before entering Bihar. On its return journey, it will cover important stations such as Samastipur, Muzaffarpur, Hajipur and Chhapra, ensuring wider connectivity across the state.
