Indian Railways has decided to reduce the speed of high-speed trains, including the Vande Bharat and Gatiman Express, on select routes due to safety concerns.
Vande Bharat sleeper trains are expected to be much better than Rajdhani Express trains and Tejas Express trains, and also faster than Shatabdi express trains
The rush has led to long waitlists for trains to major cities like Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru
This rise from the 6,369 train trips offered in the summer of 2023 will meet passenger demands effectively
This move comes as a boon for travelers, especially during the festive rush
Earlier, such trials were done at a speed of 130 kmph at different places before introducing the system in three sections in South Central Railway
Soon after this claim, Indian Railways has marked another feat in this project by building a new 3,209 metre-long tunnel T1 that connects Katra and Reasi stations
The railways will have safety fencing at vulnerable locations for Vande Bharat trains to run at a speed between 110 kmph and 130 kmph and all along the tracks for a speed above 130 kmph
