According to the report, the latest Vande Bharat train will travel between Yesvantpur railway station in Bengaluru and Kacheguda railway station in Hyderabad. This service is expected to reduce the travel time between IT cities in the south.
It is also reported that the trial run of this service has already begun. “From last two days, we have been conducting a trial run of Vande Bharat between Kacheguda and Dhone (Andhra Pradesh). The service will begin soon after the formal procedure,” a senior official from South Central Railway was quoted as saying by the publication.
As of now, there is no official communication about the launch date, ticket fare and stops. As many IT professionals, business people and students travel regularly between Bengaluru and Hyderabad, Vande Bharat is expected to make the train travel faster and more comfortable.
