I had tea in a moving train, a strange smell came, even the passengers around were disturbed, when I caught the vendor, I was shocked to know the truth
More than 500 Vande Bharat and Amrit Bharat trains will come on tracks in the next five years.
There will be three categories like Rajdhani
Like Rajdhani, it will have third AC, second AC and first AC coaches. The design of berths, air ducts, cable ducts and washrooms will also be different from Rajdhani. The maximum speed of this train will be 160 kmph, so that long distances can be covered in less time.
There will be additional facilities in First AC coaches
Just like there is a difference between chair car and executive class in Vande Bharat, in the same way, more facilities will be provided to the passengers in First AC as compared to Third and Second AC. It will have more cushioned berths. Passengers of this class will be provided flight-like facilities. Apart from this, the food and drinks in this will also be special as compared to other classes.
