About SOU SUMMER SPL
SOU SUMMER SPL (train number 04072) is a Special on the Indian Railways network running between NEW DELHI (NDLS) and SUPAUL JUNCTION (SOU). It departs NEW DELHI at 21:35 and reaches SUPAUL JUNCTION at 06:35. The train covers about 1,246 km and halts at 23 stations along the way, completing the run in around 33h.
The SOU SUMMER SPL runs every day of the week. The journey spans 3 days, so a stop marked Day 3 is reached on the 3rd 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 38 km/h including halts.
Between its origin and destination the SOU SUMMER SPL makes 21 timed halts. Its longest scheduled stop is about 10 minutes at VARANASI JN. Other notable halts include GHAZIPUR CITY (10 min), CHHAPRA (10 min), BARAUNI JN (10 min), SAHARSA JN (10 min), GOVINDPURI (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.
