5th Vande Bharat Train: The country is going to get another Vande Bharat Express train. Starting next month on November 10, this train will be the fifth Vande Bharat train. It will run on Chennai-Bangalore via Mysore route. On the same day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had flagged off the fourth Vande Bharat Express train at Una, Himachal Pradesh. After this, Jai Ram Thakur of Himachal Pradesh and Manohar Lal Khattar, Chief Minister of Haryana also took a train ride.

According to an official statement, due to the running of the high speed train Vande Bharat, the distance between Una to New Delhi will be reduced by two hours. At the same time, through this train, Chandigarh can be reached from Delhi in just three hours.

"The Vande Bharat train from Chennai to Mysore via Bangalore will leave from Integral Coach Factory (ICF) on November 5 for a trial run," a senior official said. "It is ready to start operations from November 10," he said. Officials said that the time table of the train is being finalized.

Vande Bharat 2.0 is equipped with more advanced and better features like reaching the speed of 0 to 100 kmph in just 52 seconds. At the same time, its maximum speed will be 180 kilometers per hour. The Vande Bharat Express will weigh 392 tonnes, while the weight of the previous train was 430 tonnes. It will also have Wi-Fi on-demand facility. Apart from this, the Kavach technology designed for non-collision will also be available in this train.

At the same time, the third Vande Bharat train was started by PM Modi in Gujarat this month. However, technical glitches have also come to the fore in the Vande Bharat train in the past. The day after its start in Gujarat, the train collided with three buffaloes and then a cow, due to which the front part of the train was broken. Later it was repaired.
