Indian Railways has introduced a new weekly train service between Firozpur (Punjab) and Nanded (Maharashtra), bringing relief to passengers traveling between these two states. The new Firozpur Cantt–Nanded Express (Train No. 14622/14621) commenced operations on June 13 and will run once a week, covering a journey of nearly 38 hours across six states.

Departure and Timings
The train (14622) will depart from Firozpur Cantt every Friday at 1:25 PM and reach Nanded on Sunday at 3:30 PM. In return, Train No. 14621 will leave Nanded on Sunday at 11:50 AM and arrive back at Firozpur by Tuesday morning at 4:40 AM.

Route and Halts
The train will stop at 11 stations during its journey:

• In Punjab: Faridkot, Bathinda

• In Haryana: Jind

• In Delhi: Safdarjung

• In Uttar Pradesh: Faridabad, Mathura

• In Madhya Pradesh: Gwalior, Bhopal

• In Maharashtra: Bhusaval, Aurangabad, Parbhani

Coach Composition
The train will have a total of 22 coaches, including:

• 9 AC coaches

• 7 Sleeper coaches

• 4 General class coaches

Background and Demand
So far, only two trains—Punjab Mail and Patalkot Express—served the Firozpur–Nanded route. Due to increasing demand, Railways decided to introduce this new weekly express to ease passenger load and improve long-distance connectivity.

This addition reflects Indian Railways' ongoing efforts to enhance passenger convenience and strengthen inter-state travel infrastructure, especially between North and Central India.
