Before the formal launch on September 4, the new train will run as a special train Shahdol-Nagpur (08287) on August 29. It will leave Shahdol at 1.30 pm and will reach Nagpur at 4 am on August 30.
“As there are limited bus services to Shahdol from Nagpur, the train will be beneficial to people travelling to MP. Besides, the train will be a good transport service for wildlife tourists visiting Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve. The train stops at Umaria, from where Bandhavgarh is 27 km,” a railway official said.
