Get ready to experience luxury train travel like never before as the Railway Ministry has given the green light to the new Vande Bharat Express service connecting western Maharashtra with north Karnataka. Starting from September 15, passengers can enjoy upscale amenities and a smooth journey on this new route.
The train, with numbers 20669 from Hubli to Pune and 20670 from Pune to Hubli, will make its debut run on September 15, stopping at key locations such as Miraj, Sangli, and Satara. This new service comes after persistent requests from local leaders, including BJP Maharashtra Rail Wing President Kailas Varma and DyCM Devendra Fadnavis, who advocated for the route following the electrification of the western Maharashtra railway line.
The schedule for the Vande Bharat Express includes stops at Sangli and Miraj, fulfilling the demands of local leaders and providing a convenient travel option for passengers. With a daily service frequency and a speed of 66 km/h, the train covers a distance of 558 km in a timely manner.
In addition to the new route, efforts are underway to launch the Kolhapur-Mumbai Vande Bharat service, although technical and electrification issues are causing delays. Despite this setback, plans are in place to ensure the service is up and running as soon as possible.
Overall, the introduction of the Vande Bharat Express on the western Maharashtra-north Karnataka route is set to enhance connectivity and provide passengers with a comfortable and efficient travel experience. So mark your calendars for September 15 and get ready to embark on a journey like no other on the luxurious Vande Bharat Express.
