यूपी में दौड़ेगी सबसे लंबी वंदे भारत ट्रेन; मेरठ-लखनऊ ट्रेन की बढ़ेगी रेंज, बनारस तक चलाने का प्रस्ताव - UP Vande Bharat Train

The Vande Bharat Express running between Meerut and Lucknow is proving to be a loss-making venture for the Indian Railways. The train is facing a lack of passengers, with 65-70% of seats remaining empty on both directions. Despite having a seating capacity of 530, the train has only managed to attract...

a little over 825 passengers so far. To address this, the Railways are considering extending the route of the Meerut-Lucknow Vande Bharat Express to Varanasi. Officials believe this extension would increase passenger numbers and improve the train's performance. This strategy was previously successful in the case of the Gorakhpur-Lucknow Vande Bharat, which saw increased ridership after its route was extended to Prayagraj. The Vande Bharat Express is the fastest train on the Meerut-Lucknow route, taking only 7 hours compared to the 8:25 hours of Rajya Rani Express and 9:30 hours of Nauchandi Express. The train departs from Lucknow Charbagh at 2:45 PM and reaches Meerut at 9:55 PM daily. The return journey starts from Meerut at 6:35 AM and reaches Lucknow at 1:00 PM. The train operates six days a week, except on Tuesdays, making stops at Moradabad and Bareilly during both journeys. Senior DCM of North Railway, Rajnish Tiwari, highlighted the potential benefit of extending the Vande Bharat Express to Varanasi, especially during festivals. He believes it would provide passengers with greater convenience and make the train more viable.

Meerut aur Lucknow ke beech chalne wali Vande Bharat Express, Indian Railways ke liye ghatte ka souda saabit ho rahi hai. Train mein safar karne wale musafiriyon ka akal hai. Dono taraf se 65 se 70% seats khali rah rahi hain. 530 yaatriyon ki is semi high speed train Vande Bharat...

mein baithne ki kshamata hai, lekin ab tak kul milakar 825 se kuchh zyada yaatri Vande Bharat train ko mile hain. Railways ko train mein sawari na milne ki fikr sata rahi hai, isliye ab ek nayi yojna banai ja rahi hai. Is plan ke tahat Meerut se Lucknow aane wali Vande Bharat Express ko Banaras tak chalane ka prastav taiyaar kiya gaya hai. Railways ke zimmedar batate hain ki puri ummid hai ki iski anumati mil jaayegi. Iske baad filhaal Meerut se Lucknow aane wali Vande Bharat Express aane wale dino mein Banaras tak jaayegi. Isse sawariyon ki sankhya nishchit tour par badhegi aur Vande Bharat Express bhi achchi chalne lagegi. Bata dein ki isse pehle Gorakhpur se Lucknow ke beech sanchalit hone wali Vande Bharat Express bhi yaatriyon ki kami se shuruati dino mein jhujh rahi thi. Ise dhyaan mein rakhkar railway prashasan ne Gorakhpur se Ayodhya hote hue Lucknow aane wali Vande Bharat ki duri badha di. Iska Prayagraj tak ke liye sanchaln shuru kar diya, jiske baad yeh train bhar kar chalne lagi. Ab Meerut Lucknow ki Vande Bharat train ko bhi isi tarah par Banaras tak chalane ki taiyaari hai. Meerut-Lucknow route par ab sabse tez chalne wali train Vande Bharat Express hai. Meerut City se Lucknow Rajya Rani Express se Vande Bharat 1 ghanta 25 minute aur Nauchandi Express se kareeb dhai ghanta pehle pahunchati hai. Rajya Rani Express Meerut se Lucknow tak ka safar tay karne mein aamtaur par 8:25 ghanta ka samay leti hai to Nauchandi Express yeh duri 9:30 ghanta mein puri karti hai. Vande Bharat Express Meerut se Lucknow pahunchne mein sirf 7 ghanta hi lagati hai. Lucknow-Meerut Vande Bharat Express Lucknow ke Charbagh station se har din dopahar 2:45 baje rawana hoti hai aur raat 9:55 baje Meerut pahunchti hai. Meerut se yeh subah 6:35 baje khulkar dopahar ek baje Lucknow pahunchti hai. Meerut se Lucknow ke beech chalne wali Vande Bharat Express ka sanchaln hafte mein chhe din hota hai. Mangalvaar ko train ka parichalan nahi hota hai. Aate-jaate waqt Lucknow-Meerut Vande Bharat Moradabad aur Bareli mein thaharti hai. Uttar Railway ke Senior DCM Rajnish Tiwari batate hain ki Varanasi jile ke beech sanchalit Vande Bharat train mein 20 coach ho jaane se tyoharon ke dauraan yaatriyon ko aavagaman mein kaafi aasani hogi. Iske alawa Meerut se Lucknow ke beech jo Vande Bharat train chal rahi hai use Banaras tak chalane par manthan ho raha hai. Ummeed hai ki jaldi hi is par nirnay ho jaayega. Iske baad yeh train Meerut se chalkar Lucknow hote hue Banaras tak jaayegi. Isse bhi yaatriyon ko badi suvidha milegi.

MTC-LKO VB is the Vande Bharat which no one asked or even dreamt of and if anything it should have acted like reverse Rajya Rani Express than just running like it in the same time slot.

Only feasible solution is to extend it upto Saharanpur from Meerut side and Ayodhya from Lucknow side with giving halt at Hapur, there is absolutely no way this train can be extended upto Varanasi because LKO-BSB fastest connection takes 4 hour in one direction

Re# 6188708-7              
If they got two rakes already then why they're not running it upto Varanasi, sure it's gonna break the back of the passengers but the said MP can be proud of his stupidity.

They should be running a SF or an Express train in between Meerut and Varanasi not 12 hour Vande Bharat Chaircar. Politicians are so stupid!!

GKP-LKO was the most disastrous Vande Bharat, extending upto Prayagraj has just taken the tag away though, it runs with quite a lot of pax although in packets though, not end to end. The most disastrous Vande Bharat imo is RKMP-REWA Vande Bharat, it runs mostly empty as much as I have observed although locals can actually shed a much better light on my claim, still sharing you screenshots of today's booking of 22550 PRYJ-GKP VB, 20173 RKMP-REWA VB and 22489 LKO-MTC VB

Yes, instead of giving one more rake to SBC-MAS, which can immediately make them money, they are ready to give 3 rakes to MTC-LKO-BSB which will break the passengers along with high maintenance cost.

2 rake se bhi to kaam chal jata na, 1st rake se Meerut se early morning departure aur shaam tak Varanasi mai arrival, raatbhar Varanasi mai stay aur next morning Varanasi se morning mai departure aur shaam tak Meerut.

Well jo bhi chalana to inn logon ko apne mann se kuch bhi hai

Useful, although whenever I have observed RKMP-REWA VB mostly runs this empty and only have decent occupancy when there is festival season, but thank you for pointing out that's not the case all the time.
Yeah I like this tri-weekly idea, let's see if someone in RB or even in WCR comes with or not.

Kanpur will soon receive another Vande Bharat Express train, a sleeper class train, by the end of November. This will be the third Vande Bharat Express running through Kanpur, with the first two being AC Chair Car trains connecting Kanpur to Ayodhya and Varanasi. The new sleeper Vande Bharat Express will...

be part of the Delhi-Howrah route and will stop at Kanpur Central, making it easier for Kanpur residents to travel to Delhi and Patna. The train will also benefit from the conversion of existing Shatabdi and Rajdhani Express coaches to Vande Bharat Express coaches due to the enhanced safety and comfort they offer. Initially, the train was planned to pass through Govindpuri, but it was later decided to operate it through Kanpur Central due to safety and security concerns.

Kanpur ko November ke end tak ek aur sleeper Vande Bharat Express ki sougat milne wali hai. Ye Kanpur se ho kar jaane wali teesri Vande Bharat Express hogi. Abhi Kanpur se Ayodhya aur Varanasi ko Vande Bharat chal rahi hai, par dono hi AC chair car wale hain. ...

Isse Kanpur wale Delhi aur Patna ka safar aur aasan kar payenge. Delhi-Howrah route ke important aur North Central Railway ke busiest stations mein se ek Kanpur Central se ye train chalne wali hai. Patna se New Delhi ke beech propose ki gayi sleeper Vande Bharat Express ko Kanpur Central pe thahraav diya gaya hai. Iska matlab Kanpur walon ke liye Delhi aur Patna jaane ke liye pehli sleeper Vande Bharat Express ka tohfa milega. Shatabdi, Rajdhani ke raks bhi convert honge, railway officials ne bataya ki Kanpur se chalne wali Shatabdi Express, Rajdhani Express ke raks bhi Vande Bharat Express ke raks mein convert karne ki planning hai. Iski wajah ye hai ki Vande Bharat Express ke chair car aur sleeper raks Rajdhani Express ke coaches se zyada comfortable aur safe hain. Vande Bharat Express ke coaches train ko hara signal milte hi lock ho jaate hain. Govindpuri se guzarne ka proposal reject kar diya gaya, Kanpur se Delhi to Patna via Kanpur propose ki gayi sleeper Vande Bharat Express, Govindpuri se guzarne ki planning thi par safety and security ke karan Govindpuri ke bajay ise Central se hi chalane ki planning ban gayi hai.
