Will there be a change in Vande Bharat after August 26? Malayalees on high expectations

The Ernakulam-Bengaluru Vande Bharat Express, launched on August 1st, has seen a surge in demand, particularly during the Onam season. Passengers have requested the service be extended beyond its current August 26th deadline. The train is packed on weekends, and there have been previous calls for it to become a...

permanent service, but no action has been taken. While a stop at K.R. Puram was added for the train leaving Cantonment, benefiting residents in areas like Whitefield, there are concerns that the Vande Bharat caters primarily to the wealthy. Passengers are advocating for the inclusion of at least two general compartments for those who cannot afford higher-class tickets. They are also requesting the ability to buy tickets directly at the station, not just for pre-booked reservations.

Ernakulam aur Bengaluru ke beech chalne wala Vande Bharat Express, jo 1 August ko start hua tha, uski demand bahut zyada ho gayi hai, khass karke Onam season mein. Passengers chahte hain ki is service ko August 26 ke baad bhi chalaya jaaye. Train weekends pe bharta hai, aur pehle...

bhi logon ne demand ki thi ki isko permanent service banaya jaaye, par abhi tak koi action nahi liya gaya hai. Cantonment se chalne wali train ke liye K.R. Puram pe ek stop bhi add kiya gaya tha, jisse Whitefield jaise areas ke logon ko fayda hua, par log complain kar rahe hain ki Vande Bharat sirf elite logon ke liye hi hai. Passengers chahte hain ki kam se kam do general compartments bhi train mein hon, jisse un logon ko bhi safaar karne mein aasani ho, jinko upper class ka ticket afford nahi kar sakte. Aur unki yeh bhi demand hai ki train mein ticket direct station se bhi le sakne chaiye, sirf online booking wale logon ke liye nahi.

The launch of Vande Bharat Express service on the Ernakulam-Bengaluru route has been delayed due to various reasons, including a shortage of platforms at railway stations in Bengaluru, according to railway officials. Commuters are demanding the operation of at least one Vande Bharat rake on the route. A potential solution could...

While a full-fledged service launch might coincide with the Onam holiday season, the timings and stops are yet to be finalized pending the allocation of a new rake. Passengers' groups are advocating for a 16-coach Vande Bharat rake and a sleeper variant to cater to the growing demand. However, railway sources cite concerns over maintenance facilities and the impact on short-distance trains if a new daily Vande Bharat service is introduced.
