On these routes, the government is probably going to add more Vande Bharat trains: Check all information here

The Vande Bharat Express trains will soon be available on a number of Indian Railways lines. 34 Vande Bharat train services have been run by the nation thus far on the Indian Railways network, linking the states with electrified Broad Gauge (B.G.) networks.

The Vande Bharat Express is a self-propelled, semi-high speed train set that is made in India. Modern passenger amenities aboard the train provide travelers a quicker, more comfortable, and more convenient travel experience.

Following are the upcoming vande bharat express trains:

1.On a route between Pune and Secunderabad

The South Central Railway (SCR) intends to begin service on the semi-high-speed train that will connect Pune, Maharashtra, and Secunderabad, Telangana. This train is expected to take the place of the Shatabdi Express on this route. As of right moment, neither the duration nor the stops are known. It will take less time than the current Shatabdi Express, though, which stops at Secunderabad, Begumpet, Vikarabad Jn, Tandur, Wadi Jn, Kalaburagi Jn, Solapur, and Pune. It now takes about 8 hours and 25 minutes.

2. On a route between Jammu and Srinagar

According to sources, the Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Rail Link (USBRL) in Jammu & Kashmir will receive the Vande Bharat Express train from Railways. The first train assignment of this type in the Union Territories is the eight-car electric train. A successful 15-kilometer trial run of the USBRL between the Banihal and Khari railway stations in the Ramban district was carried out by the Northern Railway last week. Passengers would have a speedier and more comfortable ride from Jammu to Srinagar once the Kashmir Valley is linked to the Indian railway system. It is anticipated that the new railway link will take 3.5 hours to get from Jammu to Srinagar.

3. On a route between Coimbatore and Tamilnadu

Another Vande Bharat Express train is probably on the way to the capital of Karnataka, connecting it to Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu. According to reports, a lot of people frequently commute between these two cities, therefore there has been demand for the route. Railways are reportedly considering introducing a Vande Bharat Express between Bengaluru and Coimbatore, according to BJP leader and Coimbatore South MLA Vanathi Srinivasan.

An official declaration regarding this route is anticipated soon, according to media reports. Many more trains currently travel this route, including as the Coimbatore UDAY Express, Kanniyakumari Express, Ernakulam InterCity SF Express, and Coimbatore Express, which take roughly 6 hours 45 minutes to 9 hours.

4. On a route between Delhi and Varanasi

According to sources who spoke to The Hindu, PM Modi would probably launch the second Vande Bharat Express on the Delhi–Varanasi route on December 18. The report states that there is a lot of passenger demand, hence this second train is being begun.

The Delhi-Varanasi Vande Bharat Express 22436 currently leaves Delhi at 6 am and arrives in Varanasi at around 2 pm. The train leaves Varanasi at 3 pm and arrives in Delhi at 11 pm on the return trip. The report states that the second train on this route is anticipated to leave Delhi in the afternoon.

Goal of running 4500 Vande Bharat trains by 2047

On December 8 of last week, Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia declared that 4,500 Vande Bharat trains would be operating throughout India by 2047. In a recent written response to the Rajya Sabha, Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw also revealed that over 12,000 recently made train coaches are equipped with digital display boards that provide details like the destination, the upcoming station, and the current running status, among other things.
