==History==<br />
'''Neora–Daniyawan–Bihar Sharif–Sheikhpura line'''<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.prabhatkhabar.com/news/patna/bihar-patna-neaura-danyiwan-baribiga-sheikhpura-railway-16-years-not-working/1171070.html|title = पटना : नेऊरा-दनियावां व बरबीघा-शेखपुरा रेलखंड, 16 वर्षों में काम भी नहीं हो सका शुरू}}</ref> was approved in 2002–03 by [[Indian Railways]] in order to reduce loads of trains on Danapur–Kiul route of [[Howrah–Delhi main line]]. This was considered a very ambitious project in order to improve train operations on Patna–Jhajha–Howrah railway section. The railways have made progress on this project, particularly between the Daniyawan and Barbigha route. The train is running on Bihar Sharif–Daniyawan rail line from 2015. Bihar Sharif–Barbigha and Barbigha–Sheikhpura railway lines are being built. However, they have not made much progress on the route between Neora and Daniyawan due to land acquisition problem.<br />
<br />
==Electrification==<br />
The Daniyawan–Bihar Sharif section was electrified in 2019 and inaugurated on 17 Feb 2019 by PM Narendra Modi.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/politics-and-nation/prime-minister-modi-lays-foundation-stone-of-patna-metro-rail/articleshow/68033674.cms?from=mdr|title = PM Modi dedicates Rs 33,000 crore projects to Bihar; Patna to get metro rail|newspaper = The Economic Times}}</ref><br />
