Train in India From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 12393 / 12394 Sampoorna Kranti Express is an Indian Railways Superfast passenger train service, which runs between Rajendra Nagar, Patna and New Delhi. The service began running on 16 February 2002 and is one of the fastest train services in India, traversing the 1001-kilometre distance in under 12 hours, which puts it with likes of Patna Rajdhani Express, Dibrugarh Rajdhani Express, Agartala Rajdhani Express, Howrah Rajdhani Express. It is faster than the Shramjeevi Superfast Express, Magadh Express and Vikramshila Express on the same route. This train is also known as "Aam Janta ki Rajdhani" as its fare is less than that of Rajdhani Express but matches it in speed and punctuality (although Patna Rajdhani Express travels ten minutes faster than this train between New Delhi and Patna). It is quicker than few Premier Rajdhani Express Trains on Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Junction–New Delhi section.
