Q. What is Jan Shatabdi Express/Train's??????
Ans. The Jan Shatabdi Express (literally "People's Shatabdi") is a more affordable variety of the Shatabdi Express, which has both AC and non-AC accommodation. The word 'Jan' refers to Janata (meaning 'people' in Hindi).
The Bhopal Jan Shatabdi was the first Jan Shatabdi of Central India, started operations on 2 January 2003 between Habibganj railway station of Bhopal, the capital city of Madhya Pradesh and Raipur, the capital of Chhattisgarh but was withdrawn due to poor passenger response between Bilaspur and Raipur though it received good passenger

response between Habibganj and Jabalpur. Thereon, the train journey was minimised till Jabalpur Junction.
The longest distance is covered by the Madagon Jan Shatabdi between Mumbai and Margao in Goa covering 765 km (475 mi) in 9 hours through the Konkan stretch. It is also the fastest jan shatabdi averaging above 80 km/h (50 mph).
The state of Kerala has two Jan Shatabdis from Trivandrum (Trivandrum Central) to Kozhikode(Calicut) on slightly different routes, one via coastal Alleppy and another via Kottayam.
Train No: 12075/12076 and 12082/12083 Jan Shatabdis from Thiruvananthapuram Central to Kozhikkode(Calicut) are the longest Janshatabdis each with 18 rakes pulled by WDM or WDP usually.

@Rajkiran Randhawa ??? ?? ???? ???? ???? ??: Re# 215367-0
Thanks Rajkiran for both the write-up as well as the list. But some minor corrections.
>The first two trains whose numbers begin with 0 cannot be Jan Shatabdi Expresses and are more in the nature of SPECIAL TRAINS as their numbers suggest.
> The last two trains running between Kolkata and Dhaka
...
more...
(Bangladesh) are also not Jan Shatabdi Expresses and do not feature in the list of Jan Shatabdi trains featuring on Page 65 of TAAG.
> The only omission in the list is 12081 Kozhikode-Thiruvanathapuram JS Exp and its pair 12082 Thiruvanathapuram-Kozhikode JS Exp.
That apart let me congragulate you for a job well done.

What about "runs mainly during day time", is there any Janshatabdi for night?

@gulshanrkp: Re# 215367-6
We have one super shatabdhi from PUNE-SC-PUNE which is supposed to complete the journey in day time. But adding more convenience to passengers, it makes the journey as Over night :P

@R◊₰ῌᾴῇ•₰**: Re# 215367-5
GA Roshan. You are right as far as JS is concerned. However, NDLS-Amritsar has 2 pairs of Shatabdis plying, one in the morning and another in the evening.
