These trains will match the best trains in the world,” told Ashwini Vaishnaw earlier after unveiling the Vande Bharat sleeper coach in Bengaluru.

Last month, Prime Minister Narendra Modi flagged off India’s 1st Vande Metro services to be renamed as ‘Namo Bharat Rapid Rail’ between Bhuj and Ahmedabad. According to reports, Ahmedabad-Bhuj Namo Bharat Rapid Rail service will stop at nine stations and cover the 360-kilometre distance in 5 hours and 45 minutes at a top speed of 110 kilometers per hour.
