The much-awaited AC double-decker train which will run between Delhi and Jaipur will be flagged off by Railway Minister Mukul Roy on Friday from Sarai Rohilla station here.

The train will cover the distance between the national capital and the Pink city in about five hours.

A daily service, the train will leave Sarai Rohilla at 5.35 pm and reach Jaipur at 10.05 pm.

The double-decker service on Mumbai-Ahmedabad and Jaipur-Delhi routes were announced in the 2011-12 Railway Budget but they could not be started last year because of delay in getting safety clearance and manufacturing of double-decker coaches.

There is already an AC double-decker train operational between Howrah and Dhanbad.
