The IRCTC has raised concerns over a potential battle for passengers between the Tejas Express and soon to be launched Vande Bharat train on the same route between Mumbai and Ahmedabad with similar timings, sources said.
Sources said the IRCTC, in two letters in August and September, said the clash in timings will “defeat” the very purpose of introduction of the Tejas Express which is the Railways’ premium corporate train.
While no one from the Rail PSU was available to comment on the matter, sources said the IRCTC has conveyed to the Railway Board that the introduction of the Vande Bharat Express would adversely affect the running of the Tejas Express on the same route.
