Bhubaneswar: The Bhubaneswar–Junagarh Road–Bhubaneswar Express (20837/20838) has now been fully upgraded to modern Linke Hofmann Busch (LHB) coaches, ensuring enhanced safety, comfort, and travel experience for passengers.
The LHB-equipped service will commence its journey from Bhubaneswar on August 25, 2025, and from Junagarh Road on August 26, 2025. Until now, this train has been operating with one LHB rake and one conventional ICF rake. With this upgrade, both rakes in the up and down directions will uniformly feature LHB coaches.
The new train composition includes:
02 Second AC coaches
04 Third AC coaches
05 Sleeper Class coaches
04 Second Class seating coaches
01 Guard-cum-Power Car
01 Guard-cum-Second Class coach with facilities for Divyangjan passengers
Earlier, it had been announced that one rake would be converted to LHB coaches from August 8, 2025. Now, building on that initiative, the transition has been completed for both rakes.
This conversion marks a major improvement in passenger amenities and operational efficiency, strengthening rail connectivity between the coastal and tribal regions of Odisha, major towns of Andhra Pradesh, and the state capital, Bhubaneswar.
