Visakhapatnam, one of the major cities in India, will welcome two new Vande Bharat Express trains, namely – Visakhapatnam to Puri, and Visakhapatnam to Secunderabad. Check routes, stoppages and timings details here.
In a significant move to improve connectivity, Indian Railways is all set to introduce two additional Vande Bharat Express trains to and from Visakhapatnam. Prime Minister Narendra Modi virtually flagged off these two express trains, namely the Visakhapatnam to Puri route and the Visakhapatnam to Secunderabad route. The new Vande Bharat Express trains will provide passengers with convenient travel options to two prominent destinations. The first route, Visakhapatnam to Puri, will cater to travelers heading to the renowned pilgrimage town in Odisha. On the other hand, the Visakhapatnam to Secunderabad route will benefit passengers traveling to Secunderabad, the largest city in Telangana.
The addition of these two Vande Bharat Express trains will not only enhance connectivity between Visakhapatnam and these key destinations but also offer a comfortable and efficient mode of transportation for passengers. The trains are expected to provide a seamless travel experience, further boosting tourism and passenger traffic in the region.
