Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched four new Vande Bharat Express trains across India today. He said these trains “will provide greater comfort” to passengers and make travel faster.
The new routes are:
-
Banaras (Varanasi) to Khajuraho
-
Lucknow to Saharanpur
-
Firozpur to Delhi
-
Ernakulam to Bengaluru
According to officials, the new trains will save a lot of travel time. For example, the Banaras–Khajuraho train will take about 2 hours 40 minutes less than the earlier trains. The Ernakulam–Bengaluru train will complete the journey in around 8 hours 40 minutes.
PM Modi said that these trains show India’s progress towards better transport, faster travel, and more comfort for passengers.
Railway officials added that the new trains will help connect more cities, improve regional travel, and support tourism and business. They also said that the new coaches have modern designs and better facilities for smoother travel.
With these new trains, India’s Vande Bharat network has grown further, showing the country’s focus on modern and comfortable rail journeys.
