Vande Bharat Express- Indian Railways has given another gift to Rajasthan. Two new Vande Bharat Express trains are going to be started between Bikaner and Jodhpur to Delhi Cantt. The proposed time table has been sent to the Railway Board and it is believed that both the trains will start running on the tracks from the first week of September.
Double gift to Rajasthan
At present, four Vande Bharat Expresses are running in the state, which include Ajmer to Chandigarh, Udaipur to Agra Cantt, Udaipur to Jaipur and Jodhpur to Sabarmati, but now two more high-speed trains are going to be added between Bikaner and Jodhpur to Delhi Cantt. This will give Rajasthan passengers in the west a new option for fast and comfortable travel.
Vande Bharat train departing from Bikaner will depart at 5:45 am and reach Delhi Cantt at 11:50 am. This means that the distance of 447 km will be covered in just 6 hours and 5 minutes. On the return journey, this train will depart from Delhi Cantt at 4:45 pm and reach Bikaner at 11:00 pm. On the way, this train will stop at major stations like Ratangarh, Churu and Rewari. Earlier, it used to take 8 to 9 hours to reach Delhi from Bikaner, now this journey will be completed in just 6 hours.
The time table of Vande Bharat leaving from Jodhpur has also been prepared. This train will leave from Jodhpur at 5:30 am and will reach Delhi Cantt at 1:30 pm i.e. the journey of 605 km will be completed in just 8 hours. On return from Delhi Cantt, the train will leave at 3:10 pm and will reach Jodhpur at 11:15 pm. This train will stop at Degana, Makrana, Phulera, Jaipur, Alwar, Rewari and Gurugram stations. In this way, the connection of Delhi with Rajasthan in the west will become stronger.
The new Vande Bharat Express will be fully equipped with state-of-the-art facilities. This train can run at a speed of up to 160 km per hour. Passengers will have facilities like AC coaches, jolt-free travel, CCTV cameras and emergency alarm. Special toilets and fire safety systems will also be provided for Divyang passengers.
Passengers will benefit
The biggest advantage of these two trains will be that the distance from Western Rajasthan to Delhi will become even easier. Where till now one had to travel a long distance, now passengers will be able to enjoy a comfortable and fast journey. This will also give a new impetus to business, tourism and industries.
