Prime Minister Narendra Modi flagged off four new Vande Bharat Express trains from Varanasi on Saturday, connecting routes across Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Delhi, Kerala, and Karnataka to heritage sites, economic centers, and pilgrimage hubs.
The launch of the latest set of Vande Bharat trains marks a key step in improving regional connectivity and providing faster, more comfortable travel options for passengers on Lucknow-Saharanpur, Banaras-Khajuraho, Firozpur-Delhi, and Ernakulam-Bengaluru routes.
Indian Railways highlighted the benefits of the Lucknow-Saharanpur link, which will help connect the major educational and industrial hubs in Lucknow, Bareilly, and Moradabad. This train will also offer a convenient travel option to one of India's major pilgrimage cities, Haridwar.
Accelerating growth across Uttar Pradesh!
