Gafargaon to Dhaka Train Schedule 2026 (Intercity)
Here is the full Gafargaon to Dhaka train schedule for intercity trains, in order of departure. Times follow recent timetable listings based on the Bangladesh Railway timetable, last updated in August 2026. Arrival means the scheduled time at Kamalapur.
Table: Gafargaon to Dhaka train schedule 2026 (intercity)
| Train name & number | Departure (Gafargaon) | Arrival (Kamalapur) | Off day | Journey time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mohanganj Express (790) | 2:21 AM | 4:55 AM | Wednesday | 2 h 34 min |
| Jamuna Express (746) | 5:18 AM | 8:00 AM | None | 2 h 42 min |

Some older blogs show slightly different times, such as Jamuna at 5:12 AM or Haor with a Thursday off day. Those come from an earlier timetable. The newest listings match the table above, but always check the app before you leave home.
Jamalpur Express is the quickest in this direction, at about 2 hours 16 minutes. Jamuna Express is the slowest, because it stops at extra stations such as Kaoraid and Sreepur. Three trains have no weekly off day, so they are the safest picks on any day.
Where each train comes from
Mohanganj and Haor Express come from Mohanganj in Netrokona. Jamuna and Agnibina Express start at Tarakandi. Tista and Brahmaputra Express come from Dewanganj Bazar, and Jamalpur Express starts at Bhuapur. If a train is late up north, it will also be late at Gafargaon, so track it before you leave home.
Commuter Trains from Gafargaon to Dhaka
Commuter trains are a useful backup on the Gafargaon to Dhaka train schedule. They are slower and stop at almost every station, but they cost much less. Their timings change more often than intercity times, and we could not confirm a current departure time at Gafargaon for each one. So the table shows when each train leaves Mymensingh and reaches Dhaka. Gafargaon comes roughly in the middle.
Table: Commuter trains on the Gafargaon to Dhaka train schedule
| Train name & number | Leaves Mymensingh | Departure (Gafargaon) | Arrival (Kamalapur) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bhawal Express (56) | 3:50 AM | Check at station | 9:20 AM |
| Jamalpur Commuter (52) | 7:20 AM | Check at station | 10:50 AM |
| Balaka Commuter (50) | 1:25 PM | Check at station | 5:45 PM |
| Dewanganj Commuter (48) | 3:25 PM | Check at station | 7:30 PM |
| Mahua Commuter (44) | 5:25 PM | Check at station | 10:25 PM |
Ask at the Gafargaon counter for the exact time on the day you travel. Commuter tickets are cheap, and you can usually buy them at the station. They are best for short, flexible trips, not for families with heavy bags.
The old Isakhan Mail between Dhaka and Mymensingh is listed as off. Mymensingh Commuter (91/92) between Joydebpur and Mymensingh also appears as off in some lists and running in others. Check at station before you plan around either train.

Gafargaon to Dhaka Train Fare by Seat Class
Train fares depend on distance and seat class, not on the train name. So every intercity train on the Gafargaon to Dhaka train schedule costs the same for the same class, and the same fares apply on the Dhaka to Gafargaon train schedule. These figures come from the Bangladesh Railway Eastern Region fare list for this 86 km trip. AC fares include VAT.
Table: Adult one-way fares between Gafargaon and Dhaka
| Seat class (code) | What you get | Fare |
|---|---|---|
| Shovan (SHOVAN) | Non-AC bench-style seat | Tk 85 |
| Shovan Chair (S_CHAIR) | Non-AC padded chair | Tk 105 |
| First Class Seat (F_SEAT) | Non-AC seat in a closed cabin | Tk 135 |
| Snigdha (SNIGDHA) | AC chair coach | Tk 196 |
| First Class Berth (F_BERTH) | Non-AC sleeping berth | Tk 205 |
| AC Seat (AC_S) | Seat inside an AC cabin | Tk 236 |
| AC Berth (AC_B) | Sleeping berth in an AC cabin | Tk 351 |
| Commuter trains | Simple non-AC seats | Much lower; check at station |
Here is a simple example. A family of four in Snigdha pays 4 x Tk 196 = Tk 784. Online, add 4 x Tk 20, so the total is Tk 864. Counter tickets have no service charge. Children aged 3 to 12 need a cheaper child ticket.
In December 2025, Bangladesh Railway added a small bridge charge on the Dhaka–Dewanganj route, which uses this line. The Shovan Chair fare for the full trip rose by only Tk 5. Your short trip may not change at all, but the e-ticket website always shows the exact amount before you pay.

Travel Tips and Train Tracking
- Arrive early: Reach Gafargaon station 15 to 20 minutes before departure. Trains stop only briefly.
- Expect delays: Trains often run 30 to 90 minutes late, so do not plan a tight meeting in Dhaka.
- Watch for diversions: In late December 2025, protests on the track forced trains to skip Gafargaon for a while and run via Bhairab instead. If you hear of unrest, check the news and call 131.
- Eid rush: Seats on the Gafargaon to Dhaka train schedule sell out within minutes after Eid. Book the return on the same day you buy the outward ticket.
- Carry ID: Keep your e-ticket and the ID you used to register.
- Save the timetable: Keep a screenshot of the Gafargaon to Dhaka train schedule on your phone, as the station board may not list every train.
- Pack light: Racks are small, especially on commuter trains.
To see where your train is, type TR, a space and the train number, and send it to 16318. For example, send TR 746 for Jamuna Express or TR 743 for Brahmaputra Express. A small operator fee applies. Our train tracking guide explains other ways to follow a train live.
Tracking matters here because every intercity train comes from far away. If Jamuna Express is running an hour late from Tarakandi, you can sleep a little longer instead of waiting on the platform.
