Vande Bharat train awaits NJP: Railway

The railways have decided to launch the service of a Vande Bharat Express – a semi-high-speed passenger train — from New Jalpaiguri station next year.

“Indian Railway has decided to introduce a Vande Bharat Express from NJP next year. The route will probably be from NJP to Howrah. Another route, that is from NJP to Guwahati, has also been discussed,” Ansul Gupta, the general manager of the Northeast Frontier Railway, said at the Siliguri Junction station.

According to him, the railways will set up proper infrastructure at NJP for the maintenance of the proposed train.
