Vande Bharat Express to Operate 16 Coaches for 75 Days
There is a very fast train in India called the Vande Bharat Express.
One of these trains goes between Bhopal and Rewa in Madhya Pradesh.
Normally it has 8 coaches, which are like big carriages.
For the next 75 days, it will have 16 coaches instead.
That is twice as many coaches!
This means there will be many more seats for people to sit.
Lots of people travel during festival time, so this helps them get tickets.
The train will stop at places like Itarsi, Jabalpur and Satna.
The railway people made this change to make travel easier and more comfortable.
Other Vande Bharat trains in Madhya Pradesh connect to Delhi, Nagpur, Varanasi and Khajuraho.
The Rani Kamalapati-Rewa Vande Bharat Express (Train Nos. 20174/20173) will run with 16 coaches instead of 8 for 75 days.
The temporary rake change, made by West Central Railway, significantly increases the number of available seats.
The move aims to help more passengers secure reservations during the festive season and make journeys more convenient.
The train connects Rani Kamalapati (Bhopal) with Rewa, passing through Itarsi, Jabalpur and Satna.
Madhya Pradesh is also served by other Vande Bharat Express routes to Delhi, Nagpur, Varanasi and Khajuraho.
