Demand rife to extend Bengaluru-Coimbatore Vande Bharat Express to ErnakulamThe Railway Board is yet to decide on introducing a Vande Bharat Express service on the Ernakulam-Bengaluru route. Meanwhile, passenger associations are urging the extension of the Bengaluru-Coimbatore Vande Bharat Express to Ernakulam due to low patronage for the Coimbatore-Bengaluru train and high demand on the Ernakulam-Bengaluru route. The association suggests...

This move would benefit commuters from Ernakulam to both Bengaluru and Coimbatore. The Railway has recently made the Tatanagar-Ernakulam Bi-Weekly Express a daily service due to high demand on the Ernakulam-Palakkad-Coimbatore route, particularly for a morning train. Sources suggest that the extension of the Coimbatore-Bengaluru Vande Bharat Express is a temporary solution while the Railway considers the Ernakulam-Bengaluru Vande Bharat Express proposal. Despite high track capacity utilization on the Ernakulam-Palakkad route, the introduction of the Ernakulam-Bengaluru Vande Bharat Express is highly anticipated due to the overwhelming demand for Vande Bharat Express services in Kerala.
Railway Board abhi tak Ernakulam-Bengaluru corridor mein Vande Bharat Express service shuru karne ka final call nahin liya hai. Iske saath hi, passenger associations Ernakulam tak Bengaluru-Coimbatore Vande Bharat Express ko extend karne ki maang kar rahi hain, kyuki Coimbatore-Bengaluru train mein utna patronage nahin hai jitna expected tha aur Ernakulam-Bengaluru...

Association ne suggestion diya hai ki existing train mein coaches badhaye jaaye ya phir Ernakulam se alag train chalu ki jaaye, jo subah 5 baje chale aur dopahar mein Bengaluru pahuche. Isse Ernakulam se Bengaluru aur Coimbatore, dono jaane wale commuters ko faida hoga. Railway ne hal hi mein Tatanagar-Ernakulam Bi-Weekly Express ko daily service bana diya hai, kyuki Ernakulam-Palakkad-Coimbatore route pe bahut zyada demand hai, khaas karke subah ki train ke liye. Sources ne bataya hai ki Coimbatore-Bengaluru Vande Bharat Express ko Ernakulam tak extend karna Ernakulam se train commuters ke liye temporary relief hoga, jabtak ki Railway Ernakulam-Bengaluru Vande Bharat Express ke proposal par sochta hai. Ernakulam-Palakkad route pe bahut zyada track capacity utilization hone ke baavajood, Ernakulam-Bengaluru Vande Bharat Express ka introduction bahut zyada expected hai, kyuki Kerala mein Vande Bharat Express services ki demand bahut zyada hai.
