16 Vande Bharat trains lying idle due to lack of ideal routes

Currently, 16 Vande Bharat chair car trains are unused due to a lack of suitable routes and track upgrades. These trains require routes that can accommodate speeds of 130-160 kmph and modern signals, which are limited in India. Additionally, finding profitable routes that don't disrupt existing train schedules has proven challenging....

The tracks haven't been upgraded to handle high-speed trains, causing disruptions to other trains. This issue is compounded by the fact that an eight-coach Vande Bharat train disrupts four or five other trains, impacting around 5,000 passengers, while only about 500 people travel on the Vande Bharat train. This has led to negative sentiment towards the service. The Vande Bharat chair car can only travel eight hours one way, limiting potential routes. Furthermore, the service does not operate from midnight to 5 am. The cost of building an eight-coach Vande Bharat is Rs 52 crore, and these 16 idle trains represent an investment of over Rs 800 crore.

16 Vande Bharat chair car trains abhi use nahi ho rahe hain kyonki suitable routes aur track upgrades nahi hain. In trains ko 130-160 kmph ki speed aur modern signals ki zarurat hai, jo India mein kam hain. Profitable routes dhundhna bhi mushkil hai jo existing train schedules ko disturb...

na kare. Tracks ko high-speed trains ke liye upgrade bhi nahi kiya gaya hai, jisse aur trains ko problem ho rahi hai. Ek eight-coach Vande Bharat train, apne route pe, chaar ya paanch aur trains ko disrupt karta hai, jisse 5,000 passengers ko pareshani hoti hai, jabki Vande Bharat train mein sirf 500 log travel karte hain. Isse Vande Bharat service ke liye negative sentiment ban gaya hai. Vande Bharat chair car ek taraf sirf eight hours tak travel kar sakta hai, jisse potential routes kam ho jaate hain. Iske aalawa, yeh service midnight se 5 am tak operate nahi hoti hai. Eight-coach Vande Bharat banane ka cost Rs 52 crore hai, aur yeh 16 idle trains Rs 800 crore se zyada ka investment hai.
