Great
I travelled in Vande Bharat from Visakhapatnam to Samalkot on Tuesday. The train is introduced on 16th Jan 2023 and 8th in India. The rake is of 2023 make with numbers 23500 went to overhaul in July 2024 as per schedule and could see the exterior repainted white with small marks on glass silicone on close observation and also the front and back side profile where Vamde Bharat with make in India logo is written. Previously the profile used to be brown with rust appearing.
