OverView
The train was introduced in 2003 to provide a direct, fast, and comfortable rail connection between North Bihar and Central Uttar Pradesh, benefiting passengers travelling to Varanasi, Prayagraj, and surrounding regions.
Earlier, the train operated between Muzaffarpur Junction and Prayagraj Rambag. It was later extended up to Prayagraj Junction—effective from 30 June 2025 for services originating from Muzaffarpur, and from 2 July 2025 for services originating from Prayagraj Junction. From 1 September 2025, the train was reclassified from a Superfast Express to a regular Express and was renumbered as 14111/14112. [3]
