The forthcoming Vande Bharat Express train is getting ready to start operations between Vijayawada and Chennai, which is a big development for rail connectivity.
Official sources state that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will essentially launch the new service on July 7 before it begins accepting payments on July 8. This much anticipated semi-high-speed train, which would be the third Vande Bharat train in Tamil Nadu, is expected to significantly shorten travel time between the two cities.
Before arriving in Chennai – Vande Bharat Express
The Vande Bharat Express will make stops along the way at Gudur, Renigunta, and Katpadi. It will then take the same path back. A significant time advantage exists for passengers traveling between Vijayawada and Chennai because it is predicted that the intercity trip will only take six and a half hours.
Vande Bharat trains are currently running between Visakhapatnam and Secunderabad in Andhra Pradesh as well as between Secunderabad and Tirupati. According to railway officials, there has been a noteworthy increase in the number of people using these services.
The Vijayawada Division Railway officials have suggested running the new train via Renigunta junction in an effort to make it more convenient for customers going between Vijayawada and the revered temple town of Tirupati. This tactical choice intends to meet the growing need for connection and improve commuters’ travel experiences.
Another Vande Bharat train, connecting Lucknow, Ayodhya, and Gorakhpur, may also depart on July 7, according to reports, heightening the anticipation.
Although the Prime Minister’s Office has not yet provided official confirmation, it is anticipated that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will also launch this train service, demonstrating the government’s dedication to enhancing rail connections throughout the nation.
Passengers can anticipate a fantastic voyage highlighted by improved speed, efficiency, and luxury as the eagerly awaited Vande Bharat Express makes its grand entrance. This new train service is expected to improve passengers’ travel experiences on the Vijayawada-Chennai line by promising shorter travel times and better connectivity.
