It is expected to complete the journey in about <strong>four hours and fifteen minutes<\/strong>, significantly cutting travel time compared with conventional trains on the route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Features and Passenger Experience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Designed to offer a comfortable and efficient travel experience, the train will run with <strong>eight coaches<\/strong>, including <strong>AC Chair Car<\/strong> and <strong>Executive Chair Car<\/strong> classes. Passengers will benefit from modern onboard facilities such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Reclining and comfortable seats<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mobile charging points<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bio-toilets<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Automatic entry\/exit doors<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>CCTV surveillance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These features align with the standard amenities found on India\u2019s Vande Bharat fleet, aimed at seamless and pleasant journeys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Service Frequency and Schedule<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The train will operate <strong>six days a week<\/strong>, excluding Tuesdays.
