Service[edit | edit source]
The 14006 Anand Vihar Terminal–Sitamarhi Lichchavi Express covers the distance of 1,193 km (741 mi) in 29 hours 00 mins (41.14 km/hr) & in 26 hours 00 mins as 14005 Sitamarhi–Anand Vihar Terminal Lichchavi Express (45.88 km/hr).
Mostly, this train runs late and cancelled in winter.
Routing[edit | edit source]
The 14006 / 05 Anand Vihar Terminal–Sitamarhi Lichchavi Express runs from Anand Vihar Terminal via Ghaziabad Junction, Khurja Junction, Tundla Junction, Kanpur Central, Allahabad Junction, Varanasi Junction, Bhatni Junction, Siwan Junction, Chhapra Junction, Hajipur Junction, Muzaffarpur Junction to Sitamarhi [1].
Some of the important stations during the journey are Aligarh, Kanpur, Allahabad, Varanasi, Dadri, Sonpur, Muzaffarpur.
Traction[edit | edit source]
As the route is yet to be fully electrified, a Ghaziabad-based WAP-5 / WAP-7 locomotive [2] [3] hauls the trains from Anand Vihar Terminal up to Allahabad Junction handling over to a Jhansi-based WDM-3A / WDM-3D locomotive. [4] which then hauls the train for the remainder of its journey until Sitamarhi Junction. But right now since the regular trains are not running, so special trains run fully with electric locomotive from end to end.
Operation[edit | edit source]
- 14006 Anand Vihar Terminal–Sitamarhi Lichchavi Express runs from Anand Vihar Terminal on a daily basis reaching Sitamarhi the next day.
- 14005 Sitamarhi–Anand Vihar Terminal Lichchavi Express runs from Sitamarhi on a daily basis reaching Anand Vihar Terminal the next day.
Accident[edit | edit source]
In an accident due to dense fog on 2 January 2010, the Lichchavi Express collided with the stationary Magadh Express train at the station near the town of Etawah, about 170 miles (270 kilometers) southwest of Lucknow.[1] Ten people, including the driver of one of the trains, were injured.
