The train connects Bhagalpur (Station Code : BGP) in eastern Bihar to Patna (Station Code : PNBE), capital of Bihar and also the national capital New Delhi (Station Code : NDLS).
In the early time Vikramshila run from Bhagalpur Jn. to Patna Jn. and from Patna Jn. the boggies of Vikramshila were attached to Magadh Express and the train was then named Magadh Express which leaves patna Jn. at 8:00 pm. At that time Poorva (howrah to New Delhi via Patna) and Magadh Express were the best train leaving for New Delhi from patna jn. later on when Mr. Nitish Kumar became the railway minister of India, he gave Vikramshila its own existence and then Vikramshila use to run from Bhagalpur to New Delhi on its own name. Same time Mr. kumar introduced Sampoorn Kranti Express from Patna to New Delhi. Both the trains were non stop from Patna to New Delhi (MGS & CNB - technical stop). This was the great relief for the passengers of Bhagalpur, Sultangung, bariarpur, Jamalpur, Abhaipur, Kajra, Luckisarai, badhiya, hathidah & Mokama.
Vikarmashila is the most important train for Bhagalpur. The percentage of people travelling from bhagalpur to any station by any train is the very less than Vikramshila alone.
This was the work for the people of Bhagalpur, jamalpur, kuil and mokama.
