Redefining railway passenger experience in Kerala, the State’s first Vande Bharat Express chugged off to a majestic start on Tuesday.
Replete with modern features that are in contrast with other trains, the sleek and air-conditioned semi-high-speed train designed by the Integral Coach Factory in Chennai has acquired celebrity status among travellers and rail enthusiasts within a week of its arrival in the State.
The Vande Bharat rake has 16 coaches, including two for the executive class that have been centrally positioned. The train has a total seating capacity of 1,126 seats, including 104 executive class seats. The remaining are economy chair cars.
