Why 224477 Vande Bharat EX?
The train proves to be a vital link between major stations in Delhi, Punjab, and Himachal Pradesh. The stoppage at Shri Anandpur Sahib - a sacred city for Sikhs known for Takht Sri Kesgarh Sahib, one of the five Sikh Takhts, surely increases the importance of the train.
Beside the religious touch, the train also connects people with Una’s industrial zones and provides tourists a best means to travel towards Himachal’s scenic destinations.
The train is equipped with all possible modern amenities, such as reclining seats, automated doors, and advanced safety features. It has been strategically developed to offer fast and comfortable journeys which surely reduce time.
After noting the success, it is anticipated that Indian Railways might introduce more Vande Bharat trains to strengthen the bridge between Delhi, Punjab, and Himachal Pradesh.
