Vande Bharat train from Hyderabad-Vijayawada to be deployed soon: Kishan Reddy

Hyderabad: Union minister G Kishan Reddy said that plans are afoot to introduce the Vande Bharat Express from Secunderabad to Vijayawada.

Vande Bharat Express trains are designed to provide high-speed connectivity to major cities, and will soon be operated in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.

These trains currently run on five routes around the country, with the first one flagged off by Prime Minister Narendra Modi from New Delhi on February 15, 2019.

Kishan Reddy stated, “No state will be left out of the Vande Bharat railway network, and services will be introduced across the country in phases.”

He further added, “I have requested that the service be extended up to Visakhapatnam and work is underway to strengthen the track to suit the Vande Bharat Express, which can reach speeds of up to 160 km per hour.”
