22439/22440 New Delhi – Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Katra – New Delhi Vande Bharat Express (NR)

This was the second Vande Bharat Express. It was launched after a gap of 8 months after the massive success of the first Vande Bharat express. The ICF team took time to study feedback from UAT testing of the first Vande Bharat rake before building and launching this one. It was as revolutionary in speed as the first as it was now possible to reach the edge of the Kashmir valley from Delhi and return the same day by train.

22436/22435 New Delhi – Varanasi – New Delhi Vande Bharat Express (NR)

This was the first Vande Bharat express of the country. It made it’s maiden commercial run on the 15th of February 2019. Expectedly, it created a sensation when it was launched, especially since details about the project and the train were closely guarded until it was near to the time of launch. Till date it remains among the most popular Vande Bharat services and was the first one to be upgraded to a 20 coach rake.

This train was a revolution of sorts, not just in aesthetics but in speed as well. It managed to cover the distance from Delhi to Varanasi in 8 hours and return the same day with still enough time left for maintenance. A feat nearly all people thought would be impossible.
