Howrah–Malda Town Intercity Express (via Azimganj)

The Howrah–Malda Town Intercity Express (via Azimganj) is a daily passenger train service in India, connecting Howrah Junction in West Bengal with Malda Town railway station, also in West Bengal. This train is notable for traversing a route that includes Azimganj Junction, a railway junction situated in Murshidabad district.

The primary purpose of the train is to provide a daytime intercity travel option for passengers commuting between Kolkata (served by Howrah Junction) and Malda Town, a significant town in northern West Bengal. It caters to a mix of travelers, including business people, students, and individuals visiting family.

The "via Azimganj" designation in the train's name is important because other trains may run between Howrah and Malda Town via a different route, often the more direct route through Barddhaman and Rampurhat. The Azimganj route is typically longer, making stops at various stations within the Murshidabad district. This provides connectivity to numerous smaller towns and villages along the way.

The train typically features a rake of general seating and reserved seating coaches. The specific class composition can vary. While generally not considered a "superfast" train, it maintains a reasonable average speed suitable for daytime travel.

Timetable details, including departure and arrival times, stoppage locations, and running days, can be found on the Indian Railways official website or through various online train information platforms. These schedules are subject to change, so it is recommended to verify the current timetable before traveling. The train number may also vary slightly depending on the direction of travel.
