The Vande Bharat Express train is the lifeline of Uttar Pradesh thanks to Chief Minister Aditya Nath the train has been very active on several routes across the state, and I travelled by this train all across from Varanasi to Lucknow to Ayodhya to Allahabad and back to Varanasi. The train is as good as any inter city express I have traveled in Europe or Russia. Th train is air conditioned, it has push button smart doors, I especially liked the smart toilets that bio degrade all the waste they are spanking clean without any foul smell and that great. Their are regular an announcements through out the journey and their are also screens on board that highlight the tourist value of the city being trialled to. There is very good leg room and luggage space on top of the seats.
Vande Bharat Express Train: Two Thumbs Up
Lunch and tea are served throughout the journey, and the food is well packed and tasty. The train has many policemen and guards who do patrolling, so the train is safe especially for women and children. One can also charge mobile phis and laptops on the brain there is stable top between seats and people can use their laptops and even work form the train. The entire train is well lite with soft white lights and there is enough space in all ways and between each bogey. The bogeys are numbered well, and it sit say to find your seat without the help of a ticket collector or a railway staff.
The seat’s tilt to the back and there are trays where one can keep their lunch before eating. The tickets are cheap Rs 1500 to Rs 1800 and one can book tickets from the net as well. The trains are fast and travel with speeds of about 80 km per hour. The inner cabins are silent and well air-conditioned. There is enough staff in hand if one needs assistance.
I enjoyed the ride and I recommend it to one and all it is the best way to get across such a large and vast state and if one wants to get a glimpse of the real India the one must travel by this modern train. The Vande Bharat has its own rail track, so it is always in time and never late. Even the railway stains have transformed, there are many stalls to east snacks or buy books, there are paid toilets those are sparklingly clean. The rail station has been swept well and there are electric buggies that help to carry handicapped and old people across the station.
Electric rickshaw is the preferred mode of travel throughout the cities in UP weather Ayodhya or Varanasi most cycle rickshaw drivers are now driving electric rickshaws which they navigate through their smart phones using google maps across the city. We always sued electric rickshaws to get to our preferred rail station.
I give two thumbs up to Vande Bharat Express.
