New Delhi: Ever since Vande Bharat has been launched in the country, travelling has become easier for passengers. Passengers can comfortably cover long distances in less time through Vande Bharat trains. If the facilities of Vande Bharat are further enhanced, it will be nothing less than an icing on the cake. IRCTC has done something similar in its Vande Bharat trains. This facility has been started on one route right now, which will soon be provided across the country. Along with this, this facility will also be started soon on four routes of Madhya Pradesh.
Yes, you heard it right, there is good news for the passengers traveling in Vande Bharat Express. Now your facilities have been increased even more during the journey. Yes, apart from breakfast, packed items have also been kept in the train. If you are fond of eating spicy food from outside, then Vande Bharat Express has solved this problem of yours. IRCTC i.e. Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation has started this facility for the benefit of the passengers. Along with the pre-booked food, now this extra facility will also be available through vendor trolley. So you can buy the things of your choice.
For your information, this facility has been started first on Gorakhpur route, but soon it will be started on four routes of Madhya Pradesh. It will be started in Bhopal to Delhi Vande Bharat, Indore Nagpur Vande Bharat Express, Bhopal Rewa Vande Bharat Express, Khajuraho New Delhi Vande Bharat Express.
