It is part of the Jan Sadharan Express series launched by the former railway minister of India, Mr. Laloo Prasad Yadav.

The 13257/58 Danapur–Anand Vihar Jan Sadharan Express has 20 General Unreserved and 2 SLR (Seating cum Luggage Rake) coaches.

As is customary with most train services in India, coach composition may be amended at the discretion of Indian Railways depending on demand.

As the average speed of the train is above 55 km/h (34 mph), as per Indian Railways rules, its fare includes a Superfast surcharge.

As the route is fully electrified, a Gomoh / Kanpur / Ghaziabad-based WAP-7 locomotive powers the train for its entire journey.
