New trains settle in by iterating, and this one’s no exception. The Jodhpur–Delhi Vande Bharat has revised its timings starting October 10—just weeks after launch—to smooth pathing and improve punctuality across a busy corridor.
The headline changes
The morning Jodhpur–Delhi Cantt run now leaves around 05:25, aiming for a 13:30 arrival, with a mid-journey dwell at Jaipur near the four-hour mark. In the return direction, the afternoon Delhi Cantt–Jodhpur leg departs around 15:10 and targets a late-evening arrival close to 23:20. Stoppages include Merta Road, Degana, Makrana, Phulera, Jaipur, Alwar, Rewari, and Gurgaon—use the exact train number for your date to see your coach position and platform.
Why the tweak
Early weeks exposed conflicts with other fast services and heavy freight. Shifting departure minutes and adjusting halts helps the rake hit green signals more often and keeps buffer for platforming at big junctions. It’s routine housekeeping that should make your day more predictable.
How to replan
If you’re onward-connecting in Delhi, plan buffers from Delhi Cantt to the airport or central stations—road traffic can swing widely. For Jaipur day-trips, the new halt band makes the train practical for meetings near the metro spine; book cabs ahead of arrival. If you’re travelling with kids or elders, request assistance in advance and target coach positions closer to exits at your destination.
Seat and coach picks
Middle coaches ride smoother; end coaches have more footfall. If you’re sensitive to aisle traffic, avoid immediate door-adjacent rows. Pack light—overhead racks are ample for cabin-sized bags, and lighter loads speed boarding on short halts.
Ticketing tips
Festive weeks fill fast. If your date is sold out, look for nearby days or split your party across adjacent rows; onboard swaps are easier in chair-car formats. Keep an eye on last-minute quota drops the evening before departure.
Small timing nudges can make a big difference on a tight corridor. Check your PNR for the updated clock, adjust your ground transfers, and enjoy a quicker, cleaner run between Marwar and the capital’s cantonment.
