Karnataka is set to get its third Vande Bharat Express on September 25, linking the tech hubs of Bengaluru and Hyderabad, railway officials said on Wednesday.
The premium, semi-high-speed train will take 8.30 hours at an average speed of 71.74 kmph to cover 609.81 km between Yeshwantpur and Kacheguda, an hour faster than the current fastest train (Duronto Express). However, it will not stop at any other station in Karnataka. Railway enthusiasts had hoped that the train would run via Raichur and stop at Yelahanka.
