Vande Bharat may soon link Chennai, Rameswaram; final route yet to be decided, say officials
CHENNAI: With the completion of electrification on the 53-km Ramanathapuram-Rameswaram single broad gauge section, Southern Railway has decided to introduce a Vande Bharat Express between Chennai and Rameswaram.
According to official sources, a proposal to operate the new daytime Vande Bharat Express from either Chennai Egmore or Tambaram has been submitted to the Railway Board. At present, there are no daytime services operated through the 600km-660km stretch via chord line and main line, and the proposed train is expected to ease congestion on the existing three overnight services.
