Sabarmati Express

Sabarmati Express

The Sabarmati Express is a train route/schedule that connects the city of Ahmedabad, India to cities in the northern states of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. The train route may take up to two days to complete the journey.

The train has become infamous due to the Godhra Train Burning episode and the death of an estimated 59 Hindus on February 27, 2002 as it was returning from Ayodhya.
