New Delhi-Varanasi Vande Bharat Express: Indian Railways started the commercial service of the first 20 coach Vande Bharat Express train from Varanasi Junction today (18 September). This semi-high-speed train runs between Varanasi and New Delhi Railway Station of the capital Delhi. Let us tell you that this week PM Narendra Modi has flagged off new Vande Bharat trains for many routes across the country simultaneously.
Now more passengers will be able to travel in the 20 coach Vande Bharat Express manufactured at the Integral Coach Factory in Chennai.
