Trial run of Odisha's 2 Vande Bharat Express begins

A significant milestone in Odisha's railway connectivity was achieved as the trial run of the state's second Vande Bharat Express, slated to operate on the Puri-Rourkela route, commenced on Monday. The trial run of this high-speed train, known for its modern amenities and efficiency, began between Puri and Talcher Road stations, according to a railway official.

The trial run was set in motion at 9:30 am from Puri railway station, with the train expected to arrive at Talcher Road station around 12:30 pm, as confirmed by the railway official. This trial run marks a crucial step towards the operationalization of this service, which is eagerly anticipated by residents and commuters in the region.

Indian Railways is gearing up to introduce the second Vande Bharat Express in Odisha, specifically running between Puri and Rourkela. This train will traverse the Puri-Bhubaneswar-Cuttack-Dhenkanal-Angul-Rourkela route, catering to passengers traveling between the coastal and western regions of Odisha. The introduction of this modern and efficient train service is expected to enhance connectivity and convenience for passengers across the state.

The first Vande Bharat Express in Odisha was virtually inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in May, commencing its service between Puri and Howrah. Since then, it has proven to be a significant boost to railway connectivity in the region, offering passengers a comfortable and efficient mode of transportation.

As the trial run of Odisha's second Vande Bharat Express begins, it signifies the commitment of Indian Railways to provide state-of-the-art transportation services, fostering enhanced connectivity and facilitating travel for the people of Odisha.
