Exciting news for train enthusiasts and travellers in India! The Indian Railways is set to launch a new Vande Bharat Express train service on the Delhi-Jaipur route in the third week of March 2023. This high-speed train service promises to offer a comfortable and convenient journey to passengers travelling between the two cities.
According to a circular issued by the North Western Railway zone, the Delhi-Jaipur Vande Bharat Express will be equipped with modern amenities, including comfortable seating, onboard catering, and entertainment options. The North Western Railway has also advised the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) to make necessary arrangements for onboard catering.
The Vande Bharat Express train service is already operational on 10 other routes across the Indian Railways network. These include New Delhi-Varanasi, New Delhi-Katra, Gandhinagar-Mumbai, New Delhi-Amb Andaura, Nagpur-Bilaspur, Chennai-Mysuru, Secunderabad-Visakhapatnam, Mumbai-Shirdi, Mumbai-Solapur, and Howrah-New Jalpaiguri. With the addition of the Delhi-Jaipur route, the Vande Bharat Express train service is expected to become even more popular among passengers looking for a comfortable and hassle-free travel experience.
However, it's important to note that the Delhi-Jaipur Vande Bharat service ticket fare is likely to be higher than the average AC train charge. While a normal AC train charges between Rs 400-600 for travel between Delhi and Jaipur, the Vande Bharat Express service is expected to cost between Rs 800-1000 for a chair car ticket and between Rs 1500-Rs 2000 for an executive class ticket. This may be slightly expensive for budget travellers, but for those who prioritize comfort and speed, the Vande Bharat Express is definitely worth the investment.
Overall, the launch of the Delhi-Jaipur Vande Bharat Express is a welcome addition to India's growing high-speed train network. With its modern amenities and efficient service, the Vande Bharat Express is sure to become a popular choice among travellers in India.
