Indian Railways is set to launch India’s 18th Vande Bharat Express train on May 29. The new train is supposed to be between New Jalpaiguri-Guwahati. With the launch of this train, Northeast India will have its first semi-high-speed train. Furthermore, this will be the third Vande Bharat Express to operate in West Bengal. Covering a distance of around 410 km between the two cities, the train will be functional in the Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) zone.
The New Jalpaiguri-Guwahati Vande Bharat Express is expected to reduce the travel time between the two cities. Presently, the fastest train between both cities covers the distance in around 7 hours. However, the advanced train will cover the distance in around 6 hours.
Operating six days a week, the train is expected to begin its journey at 6:10 am and arrive at the location at around 12 noon. For its return journey, the train will depart from Guwahati at 4:40 pm and arrive at New Jalpaiguri around 10:20 pm.
