History
The construction of the Dohazari–Cox's Bazar section of the Chittagong–Cox's Bazar line was planned to be completed by September 2023. Bangladesh Railway planned to run at least 4 trains on the line after the construction of the section was completed.[3] But due to various issues the authorities later decided to run an intercity train on the line.[4] On 1 December 2023, Cox's Bazar Express, the first commercial train in Cox's Bazar went operational.[5] On 6 December 2023, Bangladesh Railway announced the inauguration of another intercity train at Cox's Bazar on 1 January 2024,[6] although the train was not launched on the promised date. Rather, on that day the name of the train was finalized and approved by the authorities.[1] On 2 January 2024, it was announced that the train would be operational from 10 January 2024.[7] The train went operational from the scheduled date.[2]
