Yo yo! The freshest homie in RKMP coaching crew, the brand new chick of Indian Railways and the most awaited ride for Railfans of Bhopal, the hot off the press Rani Kamlapati-New Delhi Vande Bharat Express.

The coaches arrived at RKMP late last night and were put on the newly laid third Pitline pronto for a check up. I got a chance to peep at the CDO and check out this beauty in person today. Lots of fancy media types were there too snapping away.

No one was allowed inside the train due to security reasons, the RPF crew were heavily guarding it. Everyone was hyped and busy at the same time, with heavy pressure on BPL Division officials to inspect all the interiors and bogies. The Train Manager and Technicians were closely learning the new functions. And nobody knows the Original Time Table, halts and Inaugural run - only up to Agra for now (as reported by news paper and RKMP Officials), but even that ain't confirmed yet.

It is exciting to hear about the newly announced Rani Kamalapati-New Delhi Vande Bharat Express. The arrival of the rake at RKMP coaching depot has caused quite a stir among railfans in Bhopal, as well as railway officials and media persons. Although no one except the railway officials were allowed inside the rake for security reasons, everyone present at the site was equally excited and busy. It is great to know that full interior and bogie inspection was conducted by the BPL Division officials, Train Manager and Technicians. However, it seems that the original time table, halts and inaugural run have not been finalized yet, and we are only aware of the planned run up to Agra. Let's wait for further updates from RKMP officials.
