VANDE BHARAT EXPRESS
India is growing in their railway network with its fastest train-Vande Bharat Express. Different routes are opening up now across the country.
Let’s learn more about this project.
FIRST INAUGURATION:
👉Vande Bharat Express is an Indian semi-high-speed electric train service.
👉Our honorable Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi, inaugurated it from the New Delhi Railway Station on February 15, 2019. The train’s first commercial run between New Delhi and Varanasi began on February 17, 2019.
👉The Integral Coach Factory in Chennai designed and built the train, symbolizing the Make in India initiative.
👉The train has a top speed of 160 km/h and takes about 8 hours to travel from New Delhi to Varanasi.
👉Passengers have given positive feedback on the Vande Bharat Express, which has become a popular mode of transportation between New Delhi and Varanasi.
ADVANTAGES:
The Vande Bharat Express provides several advantages to passengers, some of which are as follows:
👉Speed: The train has a top speed of 160 km/h, making it one of India’s fastest trains. This means that passengers will arrive at their destination faster than on other trains.
👉Comfort: Vande Bharat Express features comfortable seating as well as modern amenities like onboard Wi-Fi, a GPS-based passenger information system, and automatic doors. It also has a cutting-edge pantry car that serves meals to passengers.
👉Safety: The train has advanced safety features such as anti-collision technology and an automatic fire detection and suppression system. This ensures that passengers are safe during their journey.
👉Environmentally friendly: Because it is an electric train, Vande Bharat Express emits far fewer emissions than diesel-powered trains.
👉Uplift Make In India: The train was designed and developed by the Integral Coach Factory in Chennai, symbolizing the Make in India initiative. The project has also helped to grow the Indian economy by creating jobs.
Overall, Vande Bharat Express provides a faster, safer, and more comfortable mode of transportation between Indian cities.
REASONS FOR SLOW SPEED :
👉The existing railway infrastructure, which may not be optimised for high-speed trains.
👉The tracks may have curves, gradients, or other features that require the train to slow down in some sections of the route.
👉Another possible explanation is operational constraints, such as the need to stop at stations or keep a safe distance from other trains on the same track.
👉Weather conditions such as high winds, rain, or fog may also have an effect on the train’s speed.
