Surat-Udaipur Vande Bharat Starts Today, Asarwa Service Ends

According to North Western Railway chief public relations officer Amit Sudarshan, inaugural special train 09103 will depart Surat at 10am on October 2 and reach Udaipur City at 5.40pm. It will stop at Bharuch, Vadodara, Anand, Maninagar, Asarwa, Himmatnagar, Shamlaji Road, Dungarpur and Jawar before reaching its final destination.

The inaugural service will operate with an eight-coach Vande Bharat rake. From the start of regular operations, the train will run under numbers 26903 and 26904, with the same nine intermediate stops and eight-coach configuration.

Train 26904 will leave Udaipur City at 3.35pm and arrive in Surat at 11pm from October 3. The return service, train 26903, will depart Surat at 6.10am and reach Udaipur City at 1.40pm from October 4. The different start dates for the two regular services mean that the Udaipur-to-Surat journey will begin a day before the Surat-to-Udaipur service.

The route brings together major urban and regional stations across Gujarat and Rajasthan. In Gujarat, the service will call at Surat, Bharuch, Vadodara, Anand, Maninagar, Asarwa, Himmatnagar and Shamlaji Road. Dungarpur and Jawar will be the additional stops in Rajasthan before the train reaches Udaipur City.
