Indian Railways is gearing up to introduce a new Vande Bharat Express train for Uttar Pradesh, marking the allocation of three semi-high speed trains to the state. Scheduled to be inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday (December 18) from Varanasi railway station, this cutting-edge train will embark on its inaugural run from Varanasi railway station.
Operating between Varanasi and New Delhi, the saffron-coloured train will be the second ultra-modern addition to the route, following the introduction of train number 22435/22436 New Delhi-Varanasi-New Delhi Vande Bharat Express in 2019.
