Indian Railways is upgrading the Jodhpur-Delhi Vande Bharat Express to handle more passengers. The train will now operate with 20 coaches instead of the previous 8 coaches. This move aims to provide more confirmed tickets to travelers on this busy route.
Why is the coach capacity being increased?
The decision comes after seeing heavy passenger demand and long waiting lists for this train. There was a consistent shortage of seats, making it difficult for passengers to get confirmed bookings. To solve this, Northern Railway will provide the additional coaches to increase the overall seating capacity.
What are the benefits for the passengers?
With the increase from 8 to 20 coaches, the probability of getting a confirmed ticket will rise. This will lead to a more comfortable journey and reduce overcrowding inside the train. The upgraded train will continue to offer modern Vande Bharat amenities including AC Chair Car and Executive Class.
