The Howrah-Puri Vande Bharat Express train underwent a trial run last week as part of Indian Railways’ plan to provide West Bengal a second such semi-high-speed train.
This train will transport passengers between Puri in Odisha and Howrah in Bengal. This means that the new Vande Bharat Express would make it simpler for travelers to reach Puri, the home of Lord Jagannath, where pilgrims and tourists are in great numbers.
At stations like Kharagpur, Bhadrak, Balasore, Cuttack, Bhubaneswar, and Khurda, the train will stop. The train’s test run was carried out on Friday at 6:10 am.
The train is anticipated to depart for Howrah, and it is anticipated to arrive back in Puri at 12:35 the same day.
