Bangladesh Railway Schedule – Train Timetable by www.railway.gov.bd

 

The Bangladesh Railway provides an efficient service to places of interest such as Chittagong, Sylhet, Mymensingh, Rajshahi, Bogra, Dinajpur, Rangpur, Kushtia starting from Dhaka. The Inter-city Express service runs between Dhaka and most major cities with cheap price tickets. Bangladesh Railway Schedule is maintained by the BR authority and this schedule can be changed due to situation.

“Bangladesh Railway Schedule will be recovered soon and the service of the railway will be improved,” said by Communications and Railways Minister Obaidul Quader on Saturday May 26, 2012. He was speaking while inaugurating the new engine and air-conditioned compartment of inter-city Upakul Express on Dhaka-Noakhali route at Noakhali Rail Station. 

The Bangladesh railway sector has been ‘limping’ with age-old tracks, coaches and engines on 2,835 kilometres of rail track, 2,200 kilometres are metre-gauge. Though the government is going to procure 200 air-conditioned meter gauge train coaches from Malaysia within a year to enhance the country’s rail service capacity.

Earlier in 2012, Bangladesh Railway signed a Tk 60-crore deal with an Indian company Texmaco Rail and Engineering Ltd to purchase 81 broad-gauge oil tank wagons and three brake vans in 12 months. The wagons and brake vans will be used for carrying aviation fuel and oil to different state-owned and private power plants.

Bangladesh Railway is failing to maintain its timetable for trains adding to the woes of home bound passengers. Though Bangladesh Railway authorities are trying their level best for maintaining train schedules during the working days & also on pre-holiday rush. BR also hope all trains would be able to leave stations on time despite its various limitations.

Meantime, we hope to see changes and positive trend in the very near future in a decaying sector like this, which is so important for the people and ideal source of traveling and commuting. Despite being a popular, convenient and economical mode of mass transport it is unfortunate that it is sliding more and more into a state of decay with every passing day but with this new move by the government there seems to be a ray of hope. Railway needs complete and thorough overhauling so that Bangladesh can join other countries, which boast of a secure, modern, reliable, fast and comfortable railway. It is about time Bangladesh railway is freed of the rot and developed to make us proud of it.
