Vande Bharat: The eighth rake of Vande Bharat Express is proposed from Banaras to Agra. It will be a 2.0 rake with armor installed and it takes only 140 seconds to reach the speed of 160 km per hour. This train will run from Tundla to Prayagraj from January 2025. South East Central Railway-Central Railway has got a 20-rake Vande Bharat from Eastern Railway with 16 coaches.
The proposed Vande Bharat route from Banaras to Agra will feature eight rakes. Only one rake will operate on both sides. That is, the rake that will leave Agra Cantt will return from Varanasi. This will be the rake from Vande Bharat 2.0.
This rake, which simulates air travel, features armor. It only takes 140 seconds to reach 160 km/h. In this case, this train will be able to travel at 160 mph between Tundla and Prayagraj beginning in January 2025.
The Railway Board has also issued a letter allocating rakes. North Central Railway was given Vande Bharat with eight rakes. Apart from NCR, South East Railway, South Western Railway, and Eastern Railway have also been allotted one rake of Vande Bharat with eight coaches each. While South East Central Railway and Central Railway have got Vande Bharat with 16 coaches, Eastern Railway has got a 20 rake.
Now after the rake arrives, its route trial and speed trial will start. Till now all three Vande Bharats passing through Prayagraj are blue in color. In such a situation, it is likely that this rake will be saffron in color.
