BENGALURU: The first Vande Bharat Express to Kacheguda from Bengaluru departed with nearly 50 railway officials on board from Platform 4 of Yeshwantpur railway station at 2.45 pm. This became the third Vande Bharat to run in Karnataka, the other two being the Bengaluru-Dharwad and the Mysuru to Chennai trains.
The inaugural train will be flagged off by Prime Minister Modi virtually on September 24 around 1 pm along with eight other Vande Bharat trains. “The notification on the date for commercial operations as well as fares are yet to be received from the Railway Board. The fares are likely to be on par with the Shatabdi fares,” said Divisional Railway Manager, Yogesh Mohan.
