The semi-high-speed train uses Kavach (Train Collision Avoidance System) for better operational safety. Also, every coach of Vande Bharat train has four emergency windows. In addition, it has four platform side cameras, including rearview cameras on the outside of the coach, instead of the first two.
The first Vande Bharat Express running between Delhi and Varanasi was flagged off. The country’s first semi-high speed train has also stopped in Allahabad and Kanpur. The second Vande Bharat train was started between Delhi and Shri Vaishno Devi Mata, Katra. Meanwhile, the third run was played between Mumbai and Gandhinagar.
In order to realize PM Modi’s dream of 75 Vande Bharat Express trains before August 15, 2023, Indian Railways is trying its best to increase the production of Vande Bharat Express trains.
