About BL PURI SF EXP
BL PURI SF EXP (train number 22909) is an Express on the Indian Railways network running between VALSAD (BL) and MALATIPATPUR (MLT). It departs VALSAD at 20:15 and reaches MALATIPATPUR at 09:29. The train covers about 2,059 km and halts at 26 stations along the way, completing the run in around 37h 14m.
The BL PURI SF EXP runs on Thu. 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 55 km/h including halts.
Between its origin and destination the BL PURI SF EXP makes 24 timed halts. Its longest scheduled stop is about 15 minutes at BILASPUR JN. Other notable halts include VADODARA JN (10 min), BHOPAL JN (10 min), ITARSI JN (10 min), JABALPUR (10 min), SURAT (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.
