What’s inside:
The new 16-coach Vande Bharat train for the Indore-Nagpur route is being sent to Delhi, causing a temporary pause in its launch.
A new 16-coach rack for the Vande Bharat train that was supposed to run between Indore and Nagpur is now headed to Delhi. This rack just arrived in Indore a few days ago and was undergoing trial and maintenance.
Suddenly, the Railway Board decided to move this rack to Delhi. Reports say it left Indore for Delhi yesterday. The decision is linked to the need for more Vande Bharat trains in Delhi.
This shift means that the plan for the 16-coach train on the Indore-Nagpur route is on hold. Many passengers were looking forward to the extra coaches, especially since this route gets very crowded during the festive season.
Currently, there is only an 8-coach Vande Bharat train operating on this route, and it often gets fully booked well in advance. Passengers believe that adding a 16-coach train would help ease the travel situation during busy times.
Railway officials have mentioned that this plan is not fully cancelled but postponed for now. Once new coaches become available, Indore will be prioritized, and new dates for the service will be shared soon.
Summary:
- A new 16-coach Vande Bharat train is being sent to Delhi.
- The trial and maintenance for this train were happening in Indore.
- The Indore-Nagpur train plan is temporarily postponed.
- Currently, an 8-coach train operates on this route.
