South Central Railway will provide temporary stoppage for four trains at Hi-Tech City station from October 9 to 26 to manage the extra passenger rush at Lingampalli and Secunderabad stations during the Dussehra festival season.
Will the Secunderabad–New Delhi route be included? How much time will the sleeper version save compared to Rajdhani and Duronto trains? And why does this train matter so much for Hyderabad passengers?
To meet rising demand, South Central Railway has doubled the coach composition of the Kacheguda–Yesvantpur–Kacheguda Vande Bharat Express from eight to sixteen coaches. Starting July 10, the train can now carry 1,128 passengers between Hyderabad and Bengaluru
