Northern Railway has currently four Vande Bharat trains running on the route of Dehradun, Varanasi, Amb Andaura and Katra from New Delhi. This semi high-speed rail with world-class facilities, and reduced travel time has become a favourite mode of transporation among those visiting their families during this current festive season. This is reflected from the full occupancy of these trains of the Northern Railway.
With its speed, comfort, and affordable fares, Vande Bharat has become the current favourite among the youths in India as the young people in the age group of 25- 34 years are preferring to travel by Vande Bharat as they get the best of facilities within their limited budget.

As the network of the Vande Bharat trains continues to expand in the Northern Railway zone, connecting many commercially important states and cities, the working community in the age groups of 25-34 and 35-49 years prefer them for their daily commute due to the reduced travel time, no worries of traffic and affordable prices that are within their budget.

Many culturally and religiously significant cities like Varanasi and Katra are quite popular with the travellers who are now travelling in our New – Delhi Vande Bharat Express and Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Katra Express of the Northern Railway zone.

And not only the young, the senior citizens in the age group of 60+, are also enthusiastic about travelling with the Vande Bharat Express because of its added comfort due to the world class facilities available on the train.

Vande Bharat trains, which have been in operation for over four years now, are anticipated to have a significant impact on the aviation industry in the states of Northern Railway zone. The increasing presence of these trains, known for their high-speed, cost-effective, and comfortable travel offerings, is likely to result in a competitive challenge for domestic airlines, particularly on short-distance routes.
