PM Modi to flag off 2nd Varanasi-New Delhi Vande Bharat Express – check schedule, stoppages & other details

Banaras-New Delhi Vande Bharat Express: PM Narendra Modi is all set to flag off a second Vande Bharat Express between the cities of Varanasi and New Delhi today. The first Vande Bharat Express between Varanasi and Delhi started service in February 2019. Vande Bharat Express is an all air-conditioned chair car service. The train will have 16 coaches – 14 Chair Cars and 2 Executive Chair Cars.
According to Indian Railways, the Delhi-Varanasi-Delhi Vande Bharat Express service is extremely popular.The main difference between the new Vande Bharat Express service being launched today and the one that already runs on the route is that the new one will originate from Banaras in the morning instead of Delhi.
