Siliguri, 07th January: The newly launched Vande Bharat Express and the Shatabdi Express plying from New Jalpaiguri (NJP) to Howrah will be running at an increased speed at around 130 km per hour. Significantly, on Sunday, the train’s trial run was successfully conducted.
As per reports, previously run at a slower speed, the Howrah-NJP Vande Bharat Express will now proceed to run at its own pace. The work of the high-speed line from NJP to Malda has been completed and subsequently, its trial run was conducted.
Earlier on Sunday, a 26-coach special train left NJP for Malda. Special precautions were taken by the Railways for the trial run of the high-speed special train.
Incomplete news! How much time the train took to reach Malda??!!
02:28minute njp to malda
So called Vande Bharat trains are looking good only during it’s launch, after that it is sighted with uncleaned coaches, dirty toilets, cleaning staff on train are rude.
Let’s not blame Only the Railways. It’s the General public that should learn how to keep the train clean. Most people thinks, I paid for it so I have the right to dirty it.
100% agreed with you…..
Who is responsible for this ?
We or rail ..I hope we are responsible.
Public should also know there responsibility, and not always blame the govt. Do we dirty our house in same way as we do the public places????
Yes you are right.
No doubt it is a good attempt from Rly to introduce new trains and increase speed at dx level but as a whole most of the trains are running too much late and at high speed irrespective of the season. Rly must look into the aspect of punctuality in running trained otherwise all good attempts will be futile.
What will be the new timings of the train? At 130 km per hour, the journey should take less than 5 hours.
Increase number of Satabdi express instead of Bande Bharat trains.Howrah/Sealdah to NJP need more trains due to increase in population.
Forgot it.
It’s Indian Railways.
Bhai jitna v speed pakar lo gh@nta farak padega jab train he 2-3 hours late aye 🤣🤣
In the name of high speed trains, only fares get increased and all other services deplorably goes down. Everyone knows that trains in North India get delayed due to fog, with rapid advancement in technology how long will announce that train delays are due to fog. Come on yeah all get geared up and implement mechanism to overcome this issue
