The Gandhinagar Capital—Mumbai Central Vande Bharat Express was flagged off by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The most eagerly anticipated newly built semi-high-speed train by Indian Railways, the Vande Bharat, is now prepared for a commercial run in its new and improved form. The other two Vande Bharat trains in the nation travel between New Delhi to Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Katra and Varanasi, respectively.
The most luxurious and improved rail travel experience is offered by the Vande Bharat Express, the most recent jewel of Indian Railways.
According to Sumit Thakur, CPRO of Western Railway Zone, "The Vande Bharat Express offers a myriad of superior amenities that will give passengers a travelling experience similar to that of an aircraft and cutting-edge state-of-the-art safety features, including Kavach technology, an indigenously developed train collision avoidance system."
The train has been equipped with bogies that have fully suspended traction motors for an operational speed of 160 kmph coupled with a cutting-edge, state-of-the-art suspension system, guaranteeing safe, smooth travel and improved passenger comfort.
All classes include reclining chairs, and executive coaches also have seats that can be rotated 180 degrees.
Four platform-side cameras outside the coach, including rearview cameras, are installed on this train.
Also, by doing away with power cars and utilising a sophisticated regenerative braking system, the train has been built to increase Indian Railways' environmental footprint. The loco pilot of the Vande Bharat Express, KK Thakur, informed that the loco pilot and train guard can easily speak with each other as well as passengers in any emergency circumstance.
In order to make travel safer and more comfortable, the new Vande Bharat trains will include enhanced amenities including reclining seats, automated fire sensors, CCTV cameras, on-demand content with wifi, three-hour battery backup, and GPS systems.
The weight of the train has been decreased by 38 tonnes to 392 tonnes, and it can run on tracks that have two feet of floodwater on them. They are constructed from stainless steel. The decreased weight would let the passengers feel more at ease even at high speeds.
There are automatic gates that the pilot controls. There is greater room for luggage and there are broad windows. The installed toilet will be cutting-edge. With the exception of a few small components, the majority of the trains' parts are "Made in India."
A modern train called the Vande Bharat Express is transforming passenger transportation in India.
