Kochi : Vande Bharat Express runs at a speed of 80 kmph in Kerala, said loco pilot N. Subramaniaan, meaning the high speed train tugs at tracks here on speeds of other trains here. In his talk with the media, Subramanian said he traveled from Shornur to Kochi at 80 km per hour.
Subramaniam’s response came up on his arrival at Ernakulam North Railway Station in Vande Bharat, slated to commence services in the state. The Express train has been plying Coimbatore - Madras since 8 April at speeds far greater than here, running at 130 kmph between Jolarpet and Madras stations.
