🤔 WHAT’S THE TRAIN?! 🤔

🚆 Vande Bharat Express
Agra Cantt ➡️ Hazrat Nizamuddin, Delhi1115 - 1315
2 hours

The first Vande Bharat Express entered service in 2019! It’s a medium distance express train that has knocked off a good few hours travel time on many of its routes.

It’s also fully air conditioned and looks every bit of a modern train that we’re used to seeing all over the globe 🌏

Some have called it ‘India’s Bullet Train’ which, I can see why they say it - it does have that vibe! However, since bullet trains (and by that I mean high speed trains) can reach speeds of up to 460km/h (looking at you, Shanghai Transrapid!), this train is actually classed as a ‘semi-high speed train’ instead.

But still - considering other options that day would have taken up to 4 hours for the same journey, I was very happy with our 2 hour journey.

As of Jan 2024, Vande Bharat Express were running on 25 routes all over India including:

🚆 Udaipur - Jaipur
🚆 New Delhi - Varanasi
🚆 Mumbai - Goa

🤔 HOW MUCH DID IT COST? 🤔

For our journey, the two different types of classes cost this much:

💺 AC Chair Car (C) - £11 each
💺 AC Executive Class (E) - £17 each

HOWEVER - this is because our journeys were not showing on the Indian Railways website (IRCTC.co.in) and so I had to buy through 12go.asia. If it does show on IRCTC for you, these are the prices you can expect to pay:

💺 AC Chair Car (C) - £7.68 each
💺 AC Executive Class (E) - £13.26 each

BARGAIN 💰

As always, do try and book as far in advance as possible as this is a fully reserved train and seats do get booked up in peak seasons in advance 👍
