The average speed of the Vande Bharat Express has seen a decline, and minister Ashwini Vaishnaw has provided insights into the reasons behind this change.
The Vande Bharat Express, known for its speed and efficiency, was initially celebrated for its ability to significantly reduce travel times across various routes in India. However, recent reports indicate that its average speed has dropped, prompting questions and concerns among passengers and railway enthusiasts alike.
Minister Vaishnaw addressed the issue by explaining several factors that contribute to this decrease in speed. One primary reason is the increased number of stops that the train is making to accommodate passenger needs. As the service expands and more routes are added, the operational strategy has evolved to include additional halts, which, while beneficial for accessibility, inevitably affects the overall average speed.
Moreover, the minister pointed out that the safety protocols in place also play a crucial role in speed regulation. The railway authorities prioritize passenger safety, and this may involve adhering to speed restrictions in certain segments of the journey, especially in areas with high traffic or complex track configurations.
Additionally, the ongoing upgrades and maintenance of railway infrastructure can temporarily impact train speeds. As the indian Railways invests in modernizing tracks and signals, there may be necessary adjustments that impact the speed of services, including the Vande Bharat Express.
The minister assured that while the average speed may have dropped, the focus remains on enhancing the travel experience through improved services, punctuality, and safety. The government remains committed to optimizing operations to ensure that the Vande Bharat Express continues to serve as a reliable and efficient mode of transport for passengers across the country.
