The BJU NDLS SPL runs every day of the week. The journey spans 2 days, so a stop marked Day 2 is reached on the 2nd day after departure — worth remembering when you plan hotel check-in or an onward connection. Its average speed across the whole route works out to roughly 55 km/h including halts.

Other notable halts include AISHBAGH (10 min), KANPUR CENTRAL (10 min), MUZAFFARPUR JN (5 min), CHHAPRA (5 min). These longer stops are good points to fetch food or water, though shorter one- and two-minute halts mean you should be ready to board in advance.
