About ANVT RNC SPL

The train covers about 1,234 km and halts at 20 stations along the way, completing the run in around 23h 5m.
The ANVT RNC SPL runs on Sun. 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 53 km/h including halts.
Between its origin and destination the ANVT RNC SPL makes 18 timed halts. Its longest scheduled stop is about 10 minutes at DD UPADHYAYA JN. Other notable halts include GOVINDPURI (5 min), SUBEDARGANJ (5 min), GARWA ROAD (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.
