13429 ANVT Express will run between Malda Town MLDT and Delhi Anand Vihar Terminus ANVT via Patna, Amethi every Friday from January 09 2015 onwards.

Train Verdict: Another very average weekly service connecting UP Bihar to Delhi, which will invariably run hours late. There already runs a biweekly service 14003/4 on the same route and timings, so why complicate matters with another new train with a different number? Why not just convert the above one into a triweekly or even a daily as the route is much sensible? And surprisingly, no halt has been given at Farakka!
