The Intercity Express is the express-train service in India which connects major railway junctions and state capitals.
Features
The trains are less expensive than other express trains, and usually reach their destinations within 5–6 hours. They usually complete a round trip in a day, returning to the origin station at night and using only a single rake. Generally, they have only sitting accommodations and a pantry car. Intercity Express trains run daily, except:
- Indore - Jabalpur Intercity Express, three days a week
- Bhopal - Gwalior Intercity Express, five days a week
- Indore - Hazrat Nizamuddin Intercity Express, which takes 11 hours to cover the 550 kilometres (340 mi) route. This train uses two rakes and also has unreserved, sleeper service and three coach classes.
