What Is It?
We can’t wait for the launch of the country’s first ever bullet train in 2023 between Mumbai and Ahmedabad. But what we might not know is the launch of the second bullet train is also under construction. The government is working on a Delhi to Lucknow bullet train which will be continued to Varanasi as well. So by 2029, if you want to travel from Delhi to Lucknow, you will get there within 1.5 hours and to Varanasi within 2.5 hours. Isn’t that cool?!
The present distance between Delhi and Varanasi is 720 km, which takes 12 hours by train and it will reduce by 9.5 hours. Although, the Delhi to Lucknow train will launch by 2029, the extension to Varanasi won’t happen till 2031.
