Vande Bharat’s commercial run begins

NEW DELHI: The indigenously built, high-speed Vande Bharat Express began its first commercial run from New Delhi on Sunday as per schedule, a day after it suffered a break down while returning from Varanasi.

The train left for Varanasi from the New Delhi Railway Station at 6 am, according to the Railway Ministry. Railway Minister Piyush Goyal tweeted: “Vande Bharat Express left Delhi for Varanasi today morning on its first commercial run. Tickets sold out for the next two weeks already. Get yours today!”
