Every day lakhs of people in India go from one place to another by travelling by train. This vast railway network of India works to make your journey pleasant. Now Vande Bharat Express has also been included in this for your convenience, which is the fastest train in India. Vande Bharat Express are made-in-India semi-high speed trains which will replace other long-distance fast trains in India including Shatabdi and Rajdhani Express in coming years. Vande Bharat Express is the fastest train in India and is completely indigenously designed. From its design to top speed and even features, several factors are the reason for its success. Today in this episode, we are going to tell you about the speciality of Vande Bharat Express so that you can feel its thrill even before travelling. So let's know about them...
Modern design
The Vande Bharat Express has been given a modern design, which is more modern and attractive as compared to the boxy, muscular trains of the Indian Railways. The dual colour scheme of white and blue is attractive and the raised nose of the engine is similar to that of high-speed trains from other countries. This train has proved successful in reaching the speed of 0-100 kmph in just 52 seconds. While other trains in the world take up to 60 seconds.
The fastest train in India
Another important factor contributing to the success of Vande Bharat Express is that it is the fastest train in India with a maximum speed of 180 kmph. However, the operational speed of the train is limited to 130 kmph due to safety constraints. This higher speed has resulted in reduced travel time between cities connected by Vande Bharat Express.
Engineless train
Vande Bharat Express is India's first engineless train. Earlier, the engine coach was installed separately in Indian trains, but now in this train, the engine has been added together as is usually seen in metro or bullet trains. Due to this, it can attain higher speed than a train like Shatabdi. Its top speed is limited to 130 km/h.
Automatic Doors and AC Coaches
The train has 16 fully air-conditioned chair car coaches with two seating options: Economy and Executive Class. The amazing feature is that the revolving chair provided in the executive class can turn up to 180 degrees. One of the most important facilities provided by Vande Bharat Express is that its doors open automatically like in Metro.
