About BDTS BVC SFAST

It departs BANDRA TERMINUS at 16:45 and reaches BHAVNAGAR TRMUS at 05:45. The train covers about 778 km and halts at 18 stations along the way, completing the run in around 13h.
The BDTS BVC SFAST runs on Mon. 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 60 km/h including halts.
Between its origin and destination the BDTS BVC SFAST makes 16 timed halts. Its longest scheduled stop is about 10 minutes at AHMEDABAD JN. Other notable halts include SURAT (5 min), VADODARA 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.
