Does Assam Have A Shatabdi Express Train Service?
Assam had one Shatabdi Express, the Dibrugarh–Guwahati Shatabdi Express (train number 12086), which is one of Indian Railways’ premium services. This train operates only three days a week—on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. The 12085/86 Dibrugarh–Guwahati Shatabdi Express was temporarily suspended during the COVID-19 pandemic but has now resumed operations.
During the pandemic, nearly 21 popular passenger, mail, and express trains operating in Assam were withdrawn. Despite repeated appeals, the Railway Board and NF Railway Headquarters have not yet restored many of these services.
