Train journeys? Who doesn’t like travelling via train? Every individual prefers a train journey when it comes to affordable travel. Indian Railways is the simplest, most convenient, and comfortable means of transport. To improve passenger riding experience, Indian Railways operates several trains, such as Vande Bharat Express, Shatabdi, Tejas, and Rajdhani.

Which state leads in running the most Vande Bharat trains?

A lively and familiar scene can be observed at a railway station – sellers walking up and down the coaches carrying trays, or carts with an assortment of knick-knacks and refreshments. While walking between aisles, they add to the sound of the train with loud and rhythmic voices, “Chai, chai!” and on the aisle, they ask passengers to sip on a hot cup of tea. Along with tea, they have biscuits, chips, peanuts, samosas, and other local food items. Did you know that the first Vande Bharat Express train was flagged off on February 15, 2019, on the New Delhi-Kanpur-Allahabad-Varanasi route.

Since the introduction of Vande Bharat, the Indian Railway has witnessed a revolution in rail travel across the country. Interestingly, Vande Bharat trains have significantly reduced travel time between distant locations and improved city connectivity. The semi-high-speed trains were built at the Integral Coach Factory (ICF) in Chennai.
