Railways will gift a new Vande Bharat train to the Prime Minister’s parliamentary constituency in the new year. The gift of railway will benefit the devotees and tourists from Purvanchal to Paschimanchal. Indian Railways decides to extend Meerut-Lucknow Vande Bharat to Kashi
.
The route survey has been conducted by Northern Railway Lucknow Division. It is being speculated that if everything goes well, the Meerut-Lucknow Vande Bharat can be run between Varanasi in the first week of the new year itself. Passengers will get great convenience by running high speed Vande Bharat on this route. Now the number of Vande Bharat trains running from Banaras will become 7.
According to the passengers, at present there is no such high speed train between West and Purvanchal. Therefore, traveling by this vehicle will be quite comfortable. This will be the only train with direct service between Varanasi-Meerut. As of now there is no direct service between Varanasi-Meerut and even from the surrounding districts including Varanasi. In such a situation, there will be great convenience for the travelers of Purvanchal including Varanasi.
This will be the schedule of Vande Bharat
Railways has prepared the time schedule of Vande Bharat in which Vande Bharat will leave from Meerut in the morning and reach Varanasi at 6:15 pm. It will leave Varanasi daily at 9:00 am and reach Meerut at 9:00 pm. Public representatives have raised the issue several times regarding the new train for Ayodhya and Varanasi.
Officials of Northern Railway Lucknow Division said that the survey has got the green signal from the Railway Board. As part of the survey, discussions were going on regarding its stops, routes and timings, fares. Meerut-Lucknow Vande Bharat Express is operating from 31st August. Although this train is facing shortage of passengers on this route, the Railway Board has decided to operate it up to Varanasi.
