The 12049/12050 Gatimaan Express is India's first semi-high-speed train that runs between Delhi and Jhansi.
It takes 265 minutes (around 4.5 hours) to cover the 403 km (250 mi) journey from Hazrat Nizamuddin to Virangana Lakshmibai Junction railway stations with an average speed of 91 km/h.
Recently, I travelled from Delhi to Jhansi and then back in Gatimaan Express (12049/50) and here is a review of the same.
The final chart for GATIMAAN EXP is prepared at Delhi, usually 3-4 hours before train departure time. Gatimaan Express is the fastest-running train in India to date.
It made its first run on April 05, 2017.
🕔 How Much Time Does It Take?
This Shatabdi Express starts from Hazrat Nizamuddin at 8:10 AM and reaches Jhansi Junction at 12:35 PM the same day.
From Jhansi, it starts at 3:05 PM and reaches H Nizamuddin by 7:30 PM.
It runs 6 days a week (doesn't run on Fridays) and covers the 403 kilometres (250 mi) journey in 4 hours 25 minutes, with 2 halts in between.
In the 12050 train route, the maximum halt time for this train is 5 minutes at Agra Cantt(AGC). Train 12050 arrives at Agra Cantt at 09:50 and departs at 09:55.
So if you want to get off the train and buy anything from the station or for a little fresh air. It's safe to get down at this station.
The train also stops at Gwalior at 11:07 but stops only for 2 minutes.
In 12049, the halt at Gwalior is from 4:03 PM to 4:05 PM, and at Agra is from 5:40 PM to 5:45 PM.
