Prime Minister Narendra Modi flagged off the gleaming new Vande Bharat Express connecting Pataliputra in Bihar to Gorakhpur in Uttar Pradesh via Muzaffarpur and Bettiah.
This launch, celebrated with a wave of excitement among young passengers experiencing premium train travel for the first time, marks a technological leap for the region and emphasizes a broader
commitment to modernizing Indian Railways.
The high-speed train is being hailed not just for its speed and style but also for its state-of-the-art amenities, fully air-conditioned coaches, automatic doors, sensor systems, and even self-cleaning toilets. One passenger likened the experience to a “flight on rails,” underscoring the significant upgrade compared to general trains.
