About NDLS BJU SPL

The train covers about 1,182 km and halts at 10 stations along the way, completing the run in around 21h 15m.
The NDLS BJU 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 56 km/h including halts.
Between its origin and destination the NDLS BJU SPL makes 8 timed halts. Its longest scheduled stop is about 15 minutes at GORAKHPUR JN. Other notable halts include AISHBAGH (10 min), KANPUR CENTRAL (5 min), CHHAPRA (5 min), MUZAFFARPUR JN (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.
