Bihar, etc

Hello,
In view of apparent difficulties in Bihar, does anyone have any current advice on travel to Patna, please? I am in Sikkim and trains through NJP are difficult to get hold of. Has anyone travelled by bus, at night even?
Many thanks,
bj

Dear Mr.bjley,
If possible travel during day time from NJP to Patna (OR) let the West Bengal covered during night time and Bihar during day-time.
=================
It would be fine, if you can take 2423 Rajadhani (5 Days)

If you can give more details I may be able to find a train, what dates are you looking to travel?

What classes are you prepared to travel in?

I dissagree with VSP, daytime travel through Bihar can be awful, a locked air con coach for overnight journeys is a better option I feel.

Dear Steven,
Your observation:-
""a locked air con coach for overnight journeys is a better option I feel.""
-----------
@@@The Coaches, whether they are airconditioned or non-Airconditioned, are never locked.
--------
@@Ofcourse, it is learnt the encroachment intyo Reserved Coaches including AC is not that aggresive as it is during day-time.
=========
@@@In any case, the Rajadhani is the best. Then come, other trains.
