Vande Bharat Metro Trains: Now the day is not far when high-speed Vande Bharat Metro trains will be seen running on five railway sections including Lucknow and Kanpur. Rs 480 crore will be spent on this. In the first phase, this train will be launched on the tracks between Lucknow and Kanpur, which will take the passengers to Kanpur in just 45 minutes.
Delhi to Mumbai and Delhi to Howrah are two big rail sections of the country.

Due to the poor condition of this section, trains could not run at a speed of more than 80 to 100 kilometers per hour.
