About BGKT BDTS EXP

It departs BHAGAT KI KOTHI at 19:30 and reaches BANDRA TERMINUS at 11:20. The train covers about 932 km and halts at 11 stations along the way, completing the run in around 15h 50m.
The BGKT BDTS EXP runs on Sat. 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 59 km/h including halts.
Between its origin and destination the BGKT BDTS EXP makes 9 timed halts. Its longest scheduled stop is about 10 minutes at ABU ROAD. Other notable halts include AHMEDABAD JN (10 min), PALI MARWAR (5 min), MARWAR JN (5 min), VADODARA JN (5 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.
