The latest Vande Bharat Express, the fastest train in India, has been halted after a technical issue. The express, which was on its inaugural run from Dharwad to Bengaluru, was stopped after an alert in Coach C4. Passengers were rerouted safely to other trains, and the Indian Railways ensured their support and full refunds.
The halt of the much-awaited train came as a surprise to many passengers who had boarded the train with excitement and high expectations. The train, which underwent several upgrades and modifications compared to its predecessors, was delayed by over an hour, with some sources citing communication issues between the railways and the vendor.
According to an official source, "The train was stopped as there was a hot axle found on the penultimate coach C4. As a precaution, the train was halted at Byappanahalli for about an hour, and then it proceeded to KSR Bengaluru station."
The Indian Railways is committed to ensuring the safety of its passengers and will investigate the matter further. For affected passengers, the railways will ensure flexibility in their travel plans, including rescheduling trains and offering a full refund for the inaugural run.
The Vande Bharat Express, a modern, technological marvel aiming to revolutionise train travel in India, experienced its first hiccup on its inaugural run. With the ongoing investigation, the Indian Railways will ensure that this kind of situation is handled much smoother in the future, and that such technical issues will not occur again.
