These trains are not part of the main Khulna to Jessore train schedule above. Jashore arrival times for them vary between sources, so ask at the counter or call 131. In December 2023 the railway also announced commuter trains linking Jashore, Khulna and Mongla from 1 January 2024. Check at Khulna or Jashore station whether those services still run and at what time.

Stations on the Way from Khulna to Jashore
The line runs north-west from Khulna through busy industrial towns. Intercity trains on this Khulna to Jessore train schedule usually stop at:
- Khulna: the starting station for all six intercity trains.
- Daulatpur: handy for people living in the north of Khulna city.
- Noapara: a river port town in Jashore district.
- Jashore Junction: where lines split towards Benapole, Darshana and the Padma Bridge route.
Between Noapara and Jashore you also pass Singia Junction. This is where the new Padma Bridge line from Dhaka meets the Khulna line. You can read more about the station’s history on the Jessore Junction railway station page on Wikipedia.
Tip for Daulatpur and Noapara Passengers
If you live near Daulatpur or Noapara, you may not need to travel to Khulna station first. Search from your own station on the e-ticket site to see the trains that stop there, the fare and the seats left. Stops at these stations are short, so be on the platform early with your bags ready.
Do Padma Bridge Trains Stop at Jashore?
This confuses many travellers, so here is the simple answer:
- Sundarban Express (725/726) runs Khulna to Dhaka via the Padma Bridge and does stop at Jashore.
- Jahanabad Express (825/826) runs Khulna to Dhaka via the Padma Bridge but does not stop at Jashore. It turns off at Singia towards Narail.
- Ruposhi Bangla (827/828) and Benapole Express (795/796) stop at Jashore but do not go to Khulna.
The Bandhan Express from Khulna to Kolkata used to stop at Jashore too. It has been suspended since July 2024, so do not plan around it.

Planning a Day Trip?
Go to Jashore on Kapotaksha (715) or Rupsha (727) in the morning. Then use the Jessore to Khulna train schedule to come back on Rupsha (728) at 5:08 PM or Kapotaksha (716) at 7:10 PM. That gives you a full working day in Jashore. Watch the off days: Rupsha does not run on Thursday and Kapotaksha does not run on Friday.
Travel Tips for the Khulna–Jashore Train Trip
- Reach the station 20 to 30 minutes early. Short-route travellers often run late and miss the train.
- Expect delays on return trips. Trains in Bangladesh often run 30 to 90 minutes late, and return trains start far away.
- Book early for Eid and long weekends. Trains to and from Dhaka, such as Chitra and Sundarban, are in very high demand at these times.
- Carry your ID. The name on the ticket must match your NID or other photo ID.
- Travel light. Short stops at Noapara and Jashore leave little time to load heavy bags.
- Night trains: if you arrive at 4 AM, arrange a rickshaw or ride in advance.
Delays never show on a printed Khulna to Jessore train schedule, so build in some spare time if you have an appointment.
What to Do If Your Train Is Sold Out
- Check the other trains on the same day. There are six each way.
- Try a different class. Snigdha or AC seats may still be free when Shovan Chair is gone.
- Look again later in the day for seats that others have returned.
- Consider the day before or after, if your plan allows.
- As a last option, buy a mail or commuter train ticket at the counter.
How to Track Your Train
Before leaving home, check where your train is. Type TR, a space and the train number, then send it to 16318. For example, send TR 725 for Sundarban Express or TR 762 for Sagardari Express. Your mobile operator charges a small fee.
The Khulna to Jessore train schedule only shows planned times. SMS tracking shows where the train is right now. This is most useful for the Jessore to Khulna train schedule, because those trains come from far away and can be late.
You can also call the railway hotline 131 for running information. Railway notices about changes and special trains appear on the official Bangladesh Railway website.
