Right now, there is no direct Vande Bharat Express between Patna (Bihar) and Dhanbad (Jharkhand). But very soon, these two cities may get linked via Vande Bharat trains. The plan is under discussion.
🇮🇳 Vande Bharat – India’s Best Train
There is no doubt that Vande Bharat is India’s most modern and clean train today. It is known for:
-
Timely arrivals
-
Tasty food
-
Neat and clean coaches
That’s why every city wants this train to run through it.
Â
📅 What’s the Plan for Patna–Dhanbad?
As per Dainik Jagran, there is no new train planned directly between Patna and Dhanbad.
Instead, small changes in the routes and halts of two existing trains will create a connection:
-
Train 20894 – Patna–Tata Vande Bharat
Runs 4 days a week.
Departs Patna at 2:05 PM, reaches Gomoh at 5:54 PM. -
Train 22304 – Gaya–Howrah Vande Bharat
Passes Gomoh at 5:29 PM.
If this train starts stopping at Gomoh, then passengers from Patna can change here and go to Dhanbad.

🛤️ Proposal Sent, Approval Awaited
Dhanbad Railway Division has already sent the proposal to headquarters.
DRM Kamal Kishore Sinha said that efforts are being made to connect Patna and Dhanbad via Vande Bharat.
Once approved, travel between these two cities will be faster and more comfortable.
