High-speed train

During a test run of the new Vande Bharat Express train, the train crossed 180 kmph, on August 26. “The two-speed trial started between Kota-Nagda section at 120/130/150 and 180 kmph,” tweeted Union minister Ashwini Vaishnaw. The semi-high-speed Vande Bharat trains come with A/C chair car coaches and automatic doors. The test version of the train reportedly had 16 coaches, and went through six phases of trial.
