more... Train was Sealdah-Amritsar Jalianwalabagh express
This is the second best train (among 5 trains) to travel between Kolkata and ASR. The train has only 10 halts (9 in the Up direction) and a couple of technical halts (at an average of one halt after every 31 stations) and takes less than 31 hours to cover almost 2000 kms (at an average of one halt after every 211 kms). The coaches are very well maintained, and is one of the very few trains in IR to have OBHS (On Board Housekeeping Service) facility.
One unique thing about this train is that the train does not have an exclusive name.. The display boards show the name as JALIANWALA BAGH Express (but another Jalianwala Bagh Express runs between Amritsar and Tatanagar), official IR site shows the name as W.B. Sampark Kranti Express (but another W.B.S.K. runs between Sealdah and Old Delhi Junction), and in most of the stations, the announcement is made as simple Amritsar- Sealdah Superfast Express. So three names for a single train!!
The train follows the Amritsar- Jalandhar- Ludhiana- Ambala- Old Delhi- Kanpur- Allahabad- Mughal Sarai- Gaya- Dhanbad- Asansol- Burdwan- Sealdah route.
