Ranchi: Ranchi-New Delhi Rajdhani Express will run once a week through the Ranchway Ranchi-Lohardaga-Tori route that has just opened from November 11.
On November 8, the train service gave green light to the South East Train proposal (SER) running the train through a new route.
In accordance with the direction of the train board, 12353/12354 Rajdhani Express will operate through a new route every Thursday.

“Time travel between Ranchi and New Delhi stations will decrease at least 90 minutes,” Gupta added.
Lemongrass has officially pitched to run Rajdhani through the Railroad route Lohardaga Tori along 112 km in July this year, almost eight months after the Ranchi train division completed the electrification trials and speed routes.

and arrive at Chopan at 4 pm.

Palamu MP V D RAM will flag from the train at Garhwa Road Station.
Jharkhand passenger associations welcomed the decision to run Rajdhani on a new route.
“It was a long request and we welcomed it.
But we also demanded that the train must have a termination at Lohardaga Station.
If the platform is not feasible for termination, adequate infrastructure can be done,” said Secretary JPA Prem Kataruka.
