Ahead of the much-anticipated Durga Puja festivities in Bengal, there's some exciting news for the people of Bengal. The Vande Bharat Express is on its way, and it's becoming the talk of the town. This train has garnered immense attention, with everyone eager to experience its journey at least once.
Currently, the Vande Bharat Express is operating on several routes, but for many ordinary folks, boarding this train remains a distant dream due to its relatively high fares. However, the railway authorities have heard the cries of these people and are making efforts to include more affordable options in this train's services.
Railway sources reveal that the Vande Bharat Express is set to introduce non-AC coaches, making it more accessible to the middle class and the less privileged. While it may not boast all the modern amenities associated with AC coaches, it promises to offer a complete rail experience.
This news is especially significant for the people of Bengal, as the Vande Bharat Express is set to run in the state. There's a chance it might commence its journey just in time for Durga Puja, providing Bengalis with an affordable travel option. It is rumoured that the service might start before October 31, 2023, but specific details and official announcements are yet to be made.
The railways are gearing up to cater to the needs and demands of passengers, focusing on convenience and affordability. They are diligently working on preparing the Vande Bharat Express to connect every part of the country, emphasising the importance of this train in their future plans.
While there haven't been specific announcements regarding ticket prices, routes, or launch dates, some route details have surfaced. The Vande Bharat Express is expected to operate on routes like Howrah to New Delhi, Patna to New Delhi, Mumbai to New Delhi, and Hyderabad to New Delhi. Additionally, it's rumoured that a significant portion of Vande Bharat's destinations will include the capital city, Delhi.
With the Vande Bharat Express embracing non-AC coaches, there's hope that fares will be more affordable, ensuring that this train becomes accessible to a broader spectrum of passengers. Reports suggest that the train will consist of 22 coaches, including a locomotive.
Moreover, this isn't just about the Vande Bharat Express; the railways are planning to introduce more affordable options across various categories. In 2024, we can expect the launch of Vande Bharat Metro Trains in January and Vande Bharat Sleeper Coaches in March.
While there's still much to learn about this exciting development, one thing is clear: the railways are making strides to make travel more inclusive and affordable for all, ensuring that the Vande Bharat Express becomes a welcome addition to India's rail network.
