New Delhi: The Delhi-Varanasi Vande Bharat train will now reportedly run five days a week instead of four days, a Timer of India report said citing officials. The train has also been upgraded with new features. After running continuously for three years, the first Vande Bharat train underwent a complete overhaul. “The scheduled overhaul was done after the train completed a 5,000-km run. Now it’s back in service,” said an official to the Times of India.
The upgraded version of the train has several new features that were developed based on the experience gained from operating the first two trains.
