Southern Railway is doing well as far as operation of ‘Bharat Gaurav’ trains are concerned. “We are the most successful railway and no other railway has run so many ‘Bharat Gaurav’ trains”, Southern Railway General Manager B.G. Mallya said here on Tuesday.
In a brief interaction with reporters at the Golden Rock Railway Workshop here, Mr. Mallya said five ‘Bharat Gaurav’ trains were being run. One more train would be operated on September 30, three in October and one in November. The trains would be running in various circuits such as Coimbatore - Shirdi enroute Mantrayalam. Two to three circuits had been identified. ‘Bharat Gaurav’ trains were theme-based tourist circuit trains operated with the objective to showcase the country’s rich cultural heritage and magnificent historical places to the people of the country and the world.
Replying to a query, Mr. Mallya said operation of Vande Bharat express trains in Tamil Nadu would take some time. “We are expecting a few rakes in the current financial year”.
