The last train to connect Kolkata and Khulna, The Barisal Express, ended its run in 1965. On the 16th of November 2017, as planned, the Bandhan Express began its first commercial run between Kolkata and Khulna, from Kolkata Railway Station, formerly known as Chitpur Station—the newest of the four intracity railway stations.
The Bandhan Express, together with the existing Kolkata-Dhaka Maitree Express, are now two trains that connect India to Bangladesh.
