Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national executive member P.K. Krishnadas on Friday said the Centre was weighing a second Vande Bharat Express for Kerala.
The outgoing chairman of the Railway Passengers Amenities Committee told The Hindu that Kerala had a solid social and economic case for a second Vande Bharat train.
Mr. Krishnadas said the Vande Bharat Express that traversed through Kerala was a big revenue earner compared to similar trains operating in other regions. The train occupancy rate was high on most days. Moreover, Kerala was an urban continuum and a second train would better serve the State’s travelling public.
