Good news for those going to Delhi-Varanasi, Railways kept 2 extra Vande Bharats in backup to deal with fog.
News India Live, Digital Desk: As soon as winter arrives, ‘fog’ becomes the biggest worry for people traveling by train. Due to heavy fog, trains often run late by several hours, due to which the entire plan of the passengers gets ruined. But this time, Indian Railways, especially for the Vande Bharat Express running on the Delhi-Varanasi route, has come up with a plan which is really praiseworthy. Now say bye-bye to being late! Vande Bharat is a premium train and its biggest feature is its speed and punctuality. Due to fog, it often happened that when the train coming from Varanasi reached Delhi late, the train back to Varanasi also got delayed by several hours. This caused great difficulty to the passengers sitting at the station. To eliminate this problem from its roots, Northern Railway has decided to station 2 spare (special backup) Vande Bharat trains in Delhi. What is this new formula of Railways? The matter is very simple and accurate. If the Vande Bharat train coming from Varanasi gets significantly delayed in reaching New Delhi due to fog, the Railways will not wait for the arrival of the main train. As soon as it is time for the passengers, the second Vande Bharat train kept in backup will be immediately put on the platform. Its biggest advantage will be that passengers will not have to wait for hours sitting in the cold on the platform. The train will leave from Delhi on time, no matter how late the train behind is arriving. Not only the passengers, the maintenance of the train will also benefit. When the train arrived late, there was very little time left for cleaning and maintenance. Now, due to the presence of extra rake, after the arrival of the old train, it can be easily taken to the yard to be checked and cleaned. With this, passengers will always get clean and safe trains. Currently, this experiment has been planned mainly for New Delhi-Varanasi and some other important routes around Delhi. This step of Railways clearly shows that it is now more serious about the convenience of passengers. So if you too are planning a trip to Banaras or Delhi in this harsh winter, then this gift from Railways is going to make your journey a little easier.
