About VANDE BHARAT EXP
VANDE BHARAT EXP (train number 26302) is a Vande Bharat Express on the Indian Railways network running between DANAPUR (DNR) and JOGBANI (JBN). It departs DANAPUR at 17:10 and reaches JOGBANI at 01:20. The train covers about 452 km and halts at 15 stations along the way, completing the run in around 8h 10m.
The VANDE BHARAT EXP runs on Mon, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun. 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 55 km/h including halts.
Between its origin and destination the VANDE BHARAT EXP makes 13 timed halts. Its longest scheduled stop is about 10 minutes at SAHARSA JN. Other notable halts include PURNEA JN (10 min), MUZAFFARPUR 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.
