Q: Hey I'm moving to Indore soon and I heard about this new train service. The double decker train that connects Indore to Surat. My family lives in Surat and it would be great if i could visit them easily. Can anyone give me more info on this new public transport service?
Sad thing is Jabalpur-Indore Overnight did not get extension support. But the railway board and western central railway have agreed to change their schedules and timetables as per these new train changes. Indore will finally have a good train service.
By the way, there is also going to be a direct train from Indore to Goa ! :D This train will be Indore-Madgoan train via Konkan Railways. How great is that?
As of right now the railway authorities are still working on this route. For now there are only trains from Indore to Patna. But once this route is finalised, Indore - Surat train service will begin :)
The frequency of all these trains will be increased now and finally Indore's public transport system will be better than what it was. More people will be interested in moving to Indore now.
I heard even Indore to Patna frequency will increase from 2 days of the week to 4 days. Railway Board Executive Director actually called Lok Sabha member and Indore MP to give them these assurances because in the past people were unhappy of limited connectivity from Indore to surrounding cities.
Railways has agreed to allow this ac train to pass by this route. Oh also frequency of trains from Indore to Pune will increase from 4 to 5 days a week now.
Yes the same double decker train that connects Indore with Bhopal will also now connect Indore and Surat. So you have an easy way of going to Surat whenever you want :)
