About KUTCH EXPRESS
KUTCH EXPRESS (train number 22956) is an Express on the Indian Railways network running between BHUJ (BHUJ) and BANDRA TERMINUS (BDTS). It departs BHUJ at 20:25 and reaches BANDRA TERMINUS at 11:30. The train covers about 838 km and halts at 22 stations along the way, completing the run in around 15h 5m.
The KUTCH EXPRESS 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 KUTCH EXPRESS makes 20 timed halts. Its longest scheduled stop is about 15 minutes at GANDHIDHAM BG. Other notable halts include AHMEDABAD JN (10 min), VADODARA JN (5 min), SURAT (5 min), VALSAD (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.
