Indian Railway Scheme: If you too often travel by Rajdhani Express, Shatabdi Express, and Duronto Express, then this news is very important for you. In the coming times, these three premium trains will be a thing of the past. Yes, Railways is planning to phase out these three premium trains. Railways have prepared a roadmap for the Vande Bharat train to run at a speed of 160 to 240 kmph in the coming time.
The goal of connecting the metros with Vande Bharat,
Railways claim that in the coming two years, semi-high speed trains will start running between Delhi-Mumbai and Delhi-Kolkata. Railways have set a target to connect the metros and big cities of the country in the Amrit period. A senior railway official says that the power, signaling system, track, and rolling stock will have to be changed to run the semi-high speed train.
Speed of 160 to 260 kmph
Semi-high speed trains will be able to cover long distances in less time. Railway officials said that ICF and LHB coaches have become outdated technology. There are plans to replace Rajdhani, Shatabdi, Duronto, and Superfast trains with Vande Bharat Express. The speed of Vande Bharat is between 160 kmph to 260 kmph.
Preparation to run 75 Vande Bharat
The government is going to invest more than 40 thousand crore rupees on this. It is planned to run 75 Vande Bharat trains by 15 August 2023. At present, the speed of Vande Bharat trains running between Delhi to Katra and Delhi to Banaras is 160 kmph. The speed of the new Vande Bharat train is 180 kmph.
After this, the Vande Bharat versions that are being worked on will have maximum speeds of 200, 220, 240, and 260 kmph. According to the official, with each new version of Vande Bharat, its speed, technology, and passenger amenities will increase.
The work of running semi-high speed trains at a speed of 180 kmph to 200 kmph has started on Delhi-Howrah and Delhi-Kolkata routes. Track upgradation work has been completed on both routes. Apart from this, the bridges coming along the route are being strengthened. An amount of Rs 18 thousand crores has already been sanctioned for this.
