New Delhi: In India, trains are arguably the most popular form of public transportation. The passenger trains in our country started to run on the tracks in 1853. Despite its many drawbacks, the colonial British Raj in India helped the country by introducing the railways in the subcontinent, the largest colony of the empire. The technology of those early trains was modern in the context of that age, and since 1947, following the Independence of India, the trains have become highly evolved.
Today, if we look at the early trains in India and compare them with the modern trains of the Railways, we will find that the difference is mind-boggling. It goes on to show how the trains in our country have transformed over the centuries. From a necessary means of transport to enable people to travel from one part of the land to another in a vast country like India, trains today have become a hub of modern amenities and luxuries. Now, passengers can travel in trains, enjoying all the modern comforts that the vehicle can offer.
Also, compared to the sky-high prices of the airlines, the ticket fares of trains won't burn a hole in your pocketHence, in India, trains are hugely popular. Earlier, by modern trains in the Indian Railways, we meant the Rajdhani Express and the Shatabdi Express. On February 15, 2019, the train landscape in India added a new feather to its crown with the introduction of the Vande Bharat Express. A product of the 'Make in India' initiative, it is the most high-profile train that the general population of India has ever seen. Thanks to its high operational speed, the AC Chair Car train has reduced travel time between cities by a substantial margin, much to the relief of the passengers. Thanks to the Vande Bharat Express, Indian Railways has taken its infrastructure to a whole new level.
The train number of the Ahmedabad-Mumbai Central Vande Bharat Express is 22962/22961. It is the 45th Vande Bharat Express train in India, and it connects Ahmedabad, the largest and most popular city of Gujarat, with Mumbai, which is not only the capital of Maharashtra but also the financial capital of the country. On March 12, 2024, Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated this express train via video conferencing from Ahmedabad. The Indian Railways operates the train, and it connects Ahmedabad Junction, Vadodara Junction, Surat, Vapi, Borivali and Mumbai Central.
The Ahmedabad-Mumbai Central Vande Bharat Express is the 43rd Second Generation Vande Bharat Express train. The Integral Coach Factory at Perambur in Chennai designed and manufactured it under the Make in India Initiative.
The Ahmedabad-Mumbai Central Vande Bharat Express operates 6 days a week except on Sunday. The train will leave Ahmedabad Junction at 6:10 am and will arrive in Mumbai Central at 11:35 am.
