Farakka Express was originally Ganga Jamuna Express (Delhi to Varanasi). Was extended to Farakka much later. Around 1990?

विकास चौबे ने बुधवार को भागलपुर स्टेशन का दौरा किया और लूप लाइन को हटा के PF 2-3 को चौड़ा करने की बात कही।

भागलपुर से वंदे भारत/मेट्रो ट्रेन रैक मिलते ही चलाया जाएगा साथ में अन्य ट्रेनों को चलाने की भी बात कही।

Does anyone have a map of the proposed yard design? If they make platform 2-3 wider, platform 4-5 has to be cut on one side and expanded on the other side. Sounds like major construction.

Benefit would be that all platforms 1-5 will be able to accommodate 24 coach trains. Also, lift and escalator can be installed on all platforms.

Great
Visited Bhagalpur Junction recently. The station was very clean and the new granite floor shines in the bright light. There were 2 escalators and 1 more coming. 4 lifts and 2 more coming. The South side entry is a nice addition. Saw more pit lines being constructed. More lines being laid towards Barari line to park and shunt rakes.

Hi All,
I have a generic question, anyone from Bhagalpur can answer it please.

While going through the map of BGP station, just after the BGP yard, there is a line bifurcating to north towards the Ganga river and then vanishes from the map after some distance.
...
more...

Was there used to be a station near the Ganga bank ? Does it line used to connect to any yard/godown in the past ?

There was a meter gauge line going north from Bhagalpur junction to Barari Ghat. On the other side of the Ganga river, another meter gauge line connected Mahadeopur Ghat to Thank Bihpur Junction. There was a ferry service from Barari Ghat to Mahadeopur Ghat. Line was built in 1901 and discontinued some time in the mid 1980s.
A meter gauge train used to run on this line a few times every day. Used to transport passengers and freight. I think railways had a godown in Barari.
Currrently, about 1 km of this line

starting from Bhagalpur was relayed with broad gauge tracks, and used for shunting trains in Bhagalpur yard.
Very good question. You have an eye for details and a curiosity about railway history. Thank you for asking.

That also explains why Thana Bihpur on Barauni Katihar line is a Junction.

That is amazing and detailed reporting regarding infrastructure improvements at Bhagalpur Station. Thank you for making the video.

One question. The building that has the 4 new ticket counters, is the building newly constructed or the ticket counters just added to an existing building?
