History
Previously, the train ran between Patna and New Delhi with carriages of the Vikramshila Express (which now runs separately with number 12367/12368 between New Delhi to Bhagalpur), running as far as Bhagalpur with numbers 3467/3468. This Train used to cover the distance of 998 km in only 15 hours, 5 minutes but due to an increase in stoppages and the introduction of many more superfast trains such as the Sampoorna kranti express (numbers 12393/12394) and the Vikramshila Express its importance has decreased.
