Indian Railways is going to give its passengers another good news soon. The 8 coach Vande Bharat trains running in Kerala are set to be replaced with a 20 coach version. The Vande Bharat train (20631/20632) running between Thiruvananthapuram-Mangaluru-Thiruvananthapuram passes through Alappuzha.
The railway says that this train is often overcrowded. Many people do not even get an empty seat. In such a situation, they have to use some other means of transport. Due to lack of seats, many people miss out on traveling by Vande Bharat.
The Vande Bharat train (20631) running from Mangaluru to Thiruvananthapuram has a total of 474 passenger seats. If the 20-coach Vande Bharat starts running, then this number will increase to 1,246. Indian Railways has launched a 20-coach Vande Bharat train soon. Two such trains made at the Chennai-based Integral Coach Factory (ICF) were handed over to Southern Railway a few days ago.
Trains running between Thiruvananthapuram to Mangaluru and Tirunelveli to Chennai may get priority. Both of these are 8-coach trains and a huge crowd of passengers is seen in them. It is believed that both of these will be replaced by 20-coach trains.
