Overview

  • Originally introduced in 2023 as a Festival Special service with train numbers 05289/05290, it quickly gained popularity, particularly among passengers from North Bihar’s Tirhut region, Saran Region, and Mithila region, for providing a comfortable and direct travel option to Western India
  • Due to its growing demand, the service was incorporated into the regular timetable under the Trains at a Glance (TAG) 2025 schedule.
  • On October 2, 2025, Indian Railways issued an official notification renaming the Muzaffarpur–Pune AC Special train to Muzaffarpur–Pune AC Express.
  • The train has been assigned new permanent numbers 15589/15590, and this change will come into effect from December 8, 2025, from Muzaffarpur, and from December 10, 2025, from Hadapsar (Pune).

This train serves a vital role in connecting Bihar with Maharashtra, catering especially to students, professionals, and migrant workers. [4] [5] [6]
