Vande Bharat Train's Coaches are to be handed over to Northern Railway
The eight-coach Vande Bharat train will be handed over to the Northern Railway this month which will be 16th December, ETC Bharat reported citing sources. The train will operate and will cover the distance between Anand Vihar to Lucknow in approximately eight hours.
Vande Bharat Train to run from Anand Vihar in Morning
The official of the Indian Railway Board, also said that this train may run from Anand Vihar in the morning. The main reason that the train will run from Anand Vihar is that there is no such arrangement for primary maintenance of it in Ayodhya.
There is a consensus to operate the train with the proposal to begin the journey from Anand Vihar in the morning and return from Ayodhya in the afternoon.
Indian Railway Board officials mentioned that if the Vande Bharat train is scheduled to run from Anand Vihar in the evening, there will not be provisions for essential maintenance after reaching Ayodhya at night. Traveling is not good for chair car trains. The Board had previously made a proposal to transform the New Delhi-Lucknow Shatabdi Express into a train. The Anand Vihar-Ayodhya Vande Bharat Express can be the potential alternative to the Shatabdi Express.
According to the Senior Divisional Commercial Manager of Northern Railway Lucknow Division, Rekha Sharma, Passengers have complained about several issues like the rake of the train getting old, and malfunction of the gates of the train. Rekha Sharma also said that the Indian Railway Board has started preparing the timetable of the Vande Bharat Express train that will run between Anand Vihar-Ayodhya. Likely, the order for the operation date will also come very soon.
