Train number [ edit ]
History [ edit ]
Vikramshila Express was inaugurated on 6 March 1977 between Bhagalpur and New Delhi . After the introduction of Magadh Express in 1980, Vikramshila ran from Bhagalpur to Patna Junction and from Patna, the coaches of Vikramshila were attached to Magadh Express and the train was then named Magadh Express , which used to leave Patna Jn. at 8:00 pm.
Later on when Mr. Nitish Kumar became the Railway Minister of India , he gave back Vikramshila Express its own existence and since then Vikramshila Express again runs from Bhagalpur to Anand Vihar on its own name. This was a great relief for the passengers of Bhagalpur, Sultanganj , Bariarpur , Jamalpur Junction , Hathidah Junction , Mokama Junction Lakhisarai , and Mokama .
Vikramshila Express is the most important train for Bhagalpur region. This train is for the ease of the people of Bhagalpur, Jamalpur and nearby areas to travel to Delhi.
Vikramshila Express started running end-to-end with a WAP-7 electric locomotive from Bhagalpur Junction to Anand Vihar Terminal from 3 June 2019 and vice-versa from 1 June 2019.[1]
