India's HOMEGROWN Highspeed Trains / Vande Bharat Express from Varanasi to Delhi

[@ankurpandey4479]

This was the first unit produced of the train set. Newer trains which are rolling out have all these issues fixed. Example fittings coming loose, ride quality have been matched on par with Europe with old tracks. Traction systems have been upgraded. Newer tracks are being laid. By 2030 this will look completely different.

For a railway network that carries over 7billion people, it has been in the deepest slumber for so many decades. I wonder why? VB trains are much needed upgrade and a great alternative to those who can afford it and there are plenty. But IR still has a long way to go to catch up with the rest of the world. It also presents a massive opportunity to develop from tracks to stations and trains. Even its logo which is stuck in a time warp with a steam engine, needs a refresh!

Thank you for your honest comments. I think maintenance has always been an issue with indian railways.

[@shridam3874]

I think Indian Railways is fantastic and I tried Hyderabad - Tirupathi Vandhe Bharat during my recent Indian trip. The train is comfortable with a lot of leg space. The price may be high but with food and all, it just makes up. Many people complain about the train design, especially at the front but do not understand that it is built with Indian conditions in mind. People go over the railway gates, unfenced by 115000s km of track, and animal hits since over 35000 kms pass through forest reserves made them go with the not-so-awesome design. But the train is really comfortable with no shakes and quiet inside. Also, the maintenance may be an issue but they are doing well. Replacing tracks over 123000 km takes forever and a huge investment is needed. As a foreigner, I do not understand why Indians are the kind who complain about everything even when they have a non-corrupted central government working hard for their country but go with parties who give freebies. VB is very much needed for progress in such a vast country. However, with their tracks saturated to over 150-200%, they should not launch new trains but replace their existing premium trains. It gives time for people in the lower middle class and others to increase their income as the country grows.

So to strike the right balance there is an undertaking 76 years in the making with no end in sight.

The set you rode is one of the prototype models, that is why there were those issues. Most of these have been replaced now with production versions which are perfect. These prototypes were deployed to gain real world feedback from the people and travellers, and then implementing those changes to the mass production ones. Anyways, now Indian railways have moved onto the Vande Bharat 2, which have several improvements over this. I suggest you try it, especially the Mumbai one, that ride has some of the most beautiful scenery in India.

India is still a lower middle income country. We cannot compare it to European trains as of now. Still 10-15 years of continuous growth should made it to a decent standard. However, the Vande Bharat is a massive improvement to the previous trains. With changing habits of the people and the growing middle class and a sense of sophistication within the middle class should improve the railway standards. This is a clear fact check.

Before commenting on the quality of train , first you need to understand the circumstances in which Indian trains operate. In order to increase the speed on the existing tracks, Engines are designed on the principle of hydrodynamics and lighter material is used in the front. But due to very large railways networks, very few lines are fenced on both sides. So it is very common that some cattle may hit the fast moving train. That wear and tear is due to that only.

Disclaimer: the train that you rode faced a lot of hate by some people, the reason of which I am uncertain. But that hate was in terms of leaving bikes or other objects on its route which cause the front guard to broke a lot. Moreover stone pelting was another abuse the train encountered. All in all the first prototype did go through a lot of struggle.😅😊

[@shas312]

The reason is political. There are sections of people who have blind hatred towards the current PM Modi. Since this train was an initiative under the present governement, it became a target of such people. Until strict punishments are brought in, such things keep going on.

Recycling has been a big thing in India for about as long as I remember. Not only cans but bottles, others, paper everything. Many people made a living out of it. It's called raddi (papers , newspapers mostly) and kabadi (metals , glass and other items)

Does the train feature quick release panels for replacement after cow collisions? Would giant pillows be too bad for air resistance/drag?

[@PhoenixAviation006]

quick release panels

[@SiddharthRaiyani]

Yes they are quickly replaceable and they are not made of metal to absorb the shock better while still maintaining its shape during regular use. Can’t use a pillow at the front of train at high speed.

[@johnbowyer6902]

As I watch this video? there has been a three-train collision in India with over 200 people killed. I see their railway system, generally, as fairly dangerous. This train does look dated and a bit tired already for a 5 year old unit. Maybe building semi-high speed and high-speed trains is definitely a learning curve for Indian railways. It's a great video, by the way. Thank you for this upload.😊

Welcome to Indian Railways where we build high speed trains but forget to upgrade the tracks. 😅 Btw the upgradation of tracks are underway but its going on too slowly. I hope they speed things up.

[@SiddharthRaiyani]

That’s a chicken or egg question. Either trains or track had to come first. At least Vande Bharat will force IR to spend on track upgradation now.

[@NonstopEurotrip]

Let's hope so!! 😁

[@souhardyaroy9983]

@@SiddharthRaiyani That's not a chicken on egg question. The tracks are obviously needed to be upgraded first before launching a high speed train because if you bring the train first, it will not be able to operate on high speed and will be prone to accidents due to the incompatibility which will further delay the whole process of upgradation.

[@SiddharthRaiyani]

@@souhardyaroy9983 and without train with higher speed to run on, ir would have never upgraded the tracks. Whats the use of hugh investment in tracks if trains speed is not increased. Agrgument like this can go both ways. Try to comprehend why i said chicken and egg question. Everything is not as ideal in reality.

[@souhardyaroy9983]

@@SiddharthRaiyani This should be included in the planning. Tracks should be upgraded not only for introducing new trains but also for improving the safety of the already existing trains, increasing the speed of the existing trains, reducing delays and to improve the overall quality of the ride. This is not even an argument. You may or may not introduce new trains, but you have to upgrade or at least replace the old tracks. And it is true that IR has failed to do either. You will get the details if you just google it.

[@rishitkumarofficial]

I will be travelling on this train soon, so thank you so much for the helpful information for the train, you earned a new sub 👍

[@NonstopEurotrip]

Welcome aboard! 😀

[@shirshenduroy]

The VB Exp is great but the deployment of these trains without upgrading the tracks has been a huge problem. Local trains and many other mail trains are stopped to make way for it. The "Shatabdi" Trains can do the same/similar job at 130/160kmph as well. Also for VB you have to pay so much more just to save 20/30mins vs Shatabdi trains. That's just exploiting the common population.

[@NonstopEurotrip]

Good points 👍🏻

[@Anee988]

It's not about exploiting but giving an option to travel in comfort for those who can afford it. Both can coexist The LHB coaches are outdated and even the VB trains already look dated compared to western trains. India has a long way to go to modernise its rail network. Today's tragic crash is a reminder to not put the cart before the horse.

[@venkatramannarayan9831]

Couple of points as a response to the shortcomings: Indian railways move far far more passengers everyday than the numbers moved by some EU countries in a whole month. So, the wear and tare is natural; however, your point is well taken. The tracks are also getting upgraded but the sheer length makes it a challenge. Meanwhile, they have built a dedicated freight corridor connecting major ports with the hinterland, which in turn will help unclog the passenger routes. Lastly, this major leap has taken place in the last four to five years without external help. The elephant is getting nimble afterall. And the fast growing middle class is bringing in the demand with a deeper pocket.

is there any logic behind recording at 50 fps than 60 fps ? Or was it recorded at 60fps and reduced to 50 in post ?

Yes, because India's electricity frequency is 50hz, and if I recorded in 60hz, all the lights would flicker. Same as in all of Europe, and most of Asia.
