Will there be a change in Vande Bharat after August 26? Malayalees on high expectations

The Ernakulam-Bengaluru Vande Bharat Express, launched on August 1st, has seen a surge in demand, particularly during the Onam season. Passengers have requested the service be extended beyond its current August 26th deadline. The train is packed on weekends, and there have been previous calls for it to become a...

permanent service, but no action has been taken. While a stop at K.R. Puram was added for the train leaving Cantonment, benefiting residents in areas like Whitefield, there are concerns that the Vande Bharat caters primarily to the wealthy. Passengers are advocating for the inclusion of at least two general compartments for those who cannot afford higher-class tickets. They are also requesting the ability to buy tickets directly at the station, not just for pre-booked reservations.

Ernakulam aur Bengaluru ke beech chalne wala Vande Bharat Express, jo 1 August ko start hua tha, uski demand bahut zyada ho gayi hai, khass karke Onam season mein. Passengers chahte hain ki is service ko August 26 ke baad bhi chalaya jaaye. Train weekends pe bharta hai, aur pehle...

bhi logon ne demand ki thi ki isko permanent service banaya jaaye, par abhi tak koi action nahi liya gaya hai. Cantonment se chalne wali train ke liye K.R. Puram pe ek stop bhi add kiya gaya tha, jisse Whitefield jaise areas ke logon ko fayda hua, par log complain kar rahe hain ki Vande Bharat sirf elite logon ke liye hi hai. Passengers chahte hain ki kam se kam do general compartments bhi train mein hon, jisse un logon ko bhi safaar karne mein aasani ho, jinko upper class ka ticket afford nahi kar sakte. Aur unki yeh bhi demand hai ki train mein ticket direct station se bhi le sakne chaiye, sirf online booking wale logon ke liye nahi.

Indian Railways is preparing to introduce a sleeper variant of the Vande Bharat Express trains. This train, designed for long-distance travel, will run at a speed of 200 km per hour.

could potentially replace them. There are also plans to expand the Vande Bharat network with the introduction of Vande Metro services in Mumbai. Railway officials have confirmed that Vande Bharat Express trains will gradually replace Shatabdi Express trains. The sleeper variant of this semi-high-speed, indigenously-built train is seen as an alternative to the Rajdhani Express trains, which are considered a premium service connecting New Delhi to various state capitals. The growing popularity of Vande Bharat Express trains, along with their world-class amenities and services, has led to plans for expanding their network across the country.

Indian Railways aapne Vande Bharat Express train mein sleeper variant launch karne ki taiyaari kar rahi hai. Yeh train 200 km per hour ki speed se chalegi aur lambi distance ke liye design ki gayi hai. Isse Shatabdi aur Rajdhani Express trains ke future ke bare mein sawal uth rahe hain,...

I feel that the Shtbs' having short distance travel, like the NDLS CDG (244kms), NDLS Kalka (269kms), NDLS Kathgodam (282kms) should be retained cause having a VB run for these small stretches would be a waste of rake... instead of VB, they can make use of VB Metro (although limit is 200km, but can still run depending on the MPS of those particular trains' sections).... Shtbs' having distance more than 350kms can be thought of either having Shtb or VB rake....
