Vande Bharat Update: Vande Bharat is not getting passengers on this route; will it be closed

Vande Bharat News: The country’s most popular train Vande Bharat is being operated by the railways on different routes. Passengers are also very happy with the running of Vande Bharat on their routes. But there are reports that Vande Bharat is silent on some routes.

Vande Bharat trains are facing a shortage of passengers on these routes, due to which plans are being made to stop the operation of Vande Bharat. Recently, Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated more than half a dozen Vande Bharat Express trains. However, the number of passengers on all routes is not encouraging. According to the latest report, the Secunderabad-Nagpur Vande Bharat train is running almost empty, with more than 80 percent of seats vacant.

The situation of the Secunderabad-Nagpur Vande Bharat Express is worrying. According to railway officials, only 20 percent of passengers have travelled on this route. On September 22 (Sunday), train number 20102 departed from Secunderabad to Nagpur with more than 1,200 seats vacant. The total capacity of the train is 1,440 seats. Apart from this, less than 10 passengers had booked the 88-seater executive.

According to a media report , due to a decrease in the number of passengers, the authorities may consider discontinuing the operation of the Secunderabad-Nagpur Vande Bharat Express. This train was launched on September 16. Railway officials have said that if the passenger count remains low, the number of coaches will be reduced. Currently, this train is running with 20 coaches, but a decision can be taken to reduce it to 8 coaches. In such a situation, the number of seats will be reduced significantly. Through this train, the railways aimed to connect the Vidarbha region of Maharashtra with Ramagundam, Kazipet and Secunderabad, so that local people can take advantage of business, family or tourism related travel.

Meanwhile, Indian Railways plans to introduce the sleeper version of Vande Bharat Express in the coming days, for which preparations are in full swing. Vande Bharat trains are getting positive response from the public and passengers are eager to travel on these new trains. Now it remains to be seen how passengers react to Vande Bharat Sleeper.
