मेरठ-लखनऊ वंदे भारत का वाराणसी तक विस्तार की तैयारी

The Vande Bharat Express running between Meerut and Lucknow is facing low occupancy. To address this, the train is being considered for extension to Varanasi.

6:35 AM and reaching Charbagh station at 1:45 PM. The return journey departs from Charbagh at 2:45 PM and reaches Meerut at 10:00 PM. The train currently has an average occupancy of 60-65%, with passengers preferring the State Rani Express and Nauchandi due to the higher ticket price of the Vande Bharat. The railway is exploring the feasibility of extending the train to Varanasi. There are existing shuttle trains and other trains connecting Lucknow to Varanasi, including the Bareilly Varanasi Express. The Vande Bharat Express has vacant seats, while the State Rani and Nauchandi trains are experiencing waiting lists. On September 15th, 16th, and 18th, the Vande Bharat Express (train number 22489) had 281, 289, and 360 vacant seats in the chair car, and 30, 18, and 26 vacant seats in the executive class, which costs Rs. 2365. The State Rani Express (train number 22453) had 35 waiting list passengers across its chair car and AC classes. The Nauchandi Express had waiting lists for all classes for the next three days. The Daily Passenger Association President, S.S Uppal, suggests extending the Vande Bharat to Prayagraj instead of Varanasi for the benefit of people traveling to the Allahabad High Court. He recommends a schedule that accommodates those commuting to the High Court.

Wapas mein, Charbagh se dopahar 2:45 PM par nikalti hai aur raat 10:00 PM par Meerut pahunchti hai. Is train mein average 60-65% seats khali rehti hain, kyuki yaatri State Rani Express aur Nauchandi ko zyada pasand kar rahe hain, Vande Bharat ke ticket ke price zyada hone ki wajah se. Railway is train ko Varanasi tak badhaane ki feasibility check kar rahi hai. Lucknow se Varanasi ke liye pahle se shuttle trains aur Bareilly Varanasi Express jaisi trains hain. Vande Bharat mein seats khali hain, lekin State Rani aur Nauchandi mein waiting list hai. 15th, 16th, aur 18th September ko, Vande Bharat Express (train number 22489) mein chair car mein 281, 289, aur 360 seats khali the, aur executive class mein 30, 18, aur 26 seats khali the, jiska fare Rs. 2365 hai. State Rani Express (train number 22453) mein chair car aur AC class mein 35 waiting list passengers the. Nauchandi Express mein aage aane wale teen dinon tak sabhi classes mein waiting list hai. Daily Passenger Association ke President, S.S Uppal ka kehna hai ki Allahabad High Court jaane waale logon ki convenience ke liye, Vande Bharat ko Varanasi ki jagah Prayagraj tak badhana chahiye. Unhonne time table aise banane ka sujhav diya hai jisse High Court jaane waalon ko problem na ho.
