New Delhi: The first passenger train in Indian Railways operated in 1853, and since then, the trains in our country have come a long way. The technology of the trains in our country has evolved since the time of the British Raj and especially since Independence in 1947. The introduction of railways will always remain a lasting legacy of the British Raj in India, even though they did so for their benefit.
Trains connect different parts of a vast country like India, enabling common people to travel easily and also at a lower price. Hence, the railways are the most popular mode of transport in the country. Earlier, the Rajdhani Express and the Shatabdi Express were considered the most advanced trains with all modern amenities. However, with the introduction of the Vande Bharat Express on February 15, 2019, the landscape of Indian Railways changed. The superfast express train, a product of 'Make in India' initiative, with its air-conditioned, reserved chair car service, has come as a boon to the common people by greatly reducing travel time. Moreover, the sleeper Vande Bharat Express is going to make its debut.
The Vande Bharat Express trains, especially the chair car ones, can have eight, 16 or 20 coaches, and are self-propelling Electric Multiple Units (EMUs). The Chennai's Integral Coach Factory has manufactured the coaches, and the train's maximum speed can be 180 km per hour, with 160 km per hour being the optimum operational speed.
The Jalna-Mumbai CSMT Vande Bharat Express is one of the several Vande Bharat trains in our country. The numbers of the trains are 20705 and 20706, and it is the 41st Vande Bharat Express train in India. It operates in Maharashtra, starting its journey from Jalna, a city in the state and ending at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus in Mumbai. It is the fourth express train that travels to the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus, which is commonly known as CSMT. On December 30, 2023, Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the train via video conferencing from Ayodhya Dham Junction.
The Jalna-Mumbai CSMT Vande Bharat Express is the 39th second-generation and 25th Mini Vande Bharat 2.0 Express train, and the Integral Coach Factory at Chennai's Perambur designed and manufactured it under the Make in India Initiative.
The 20705/20706 Jalna-Mumbai CSMT Vande Bharat Express runs for 6 days a week. It covers a total distance of 435 km in 6 hrs and 50 mins. The average speed of the train is 59 km per hr, and the Maximum Permissible Speed is 110 km per hr.
The average speed of the Jalna-Mumbai CSMT Vande Bharat Express Train is 59 km per hour, and the Maximum Permissible Speed of the train is 110 km per hr.
The ticket price of the Jalna-Mumbai CSMT Vande Bharat Express Train is reportedly almost the same as a normal Vande Bharat Express train. The fare may vary from Rs 900 to Rs 1,500, and for the executive coaches, it can be over Rs 2,000.
