The Vande Bharat train will not operate on Wednesdays due to scheduled maintenance. It comprises 16 coaches, including 12 AC Chaircar, 2 AC Executive Chaircar, and 2 Driving Car coaches.
Crew and checking staff for the train will be sourced from Jaipur. Principal CCM Archana Srivastava held a final meeting with the trade union on Tuesday, accepting the demands of union representatives.
The train underwent a three-day trial in March, running between Ajmer and New Delhi at a speed of approximately 110 kilometres per hour. During the trial, employees of the Ajmer and Jaipur divisions raised concerns about staff deployment on the train, with organizations from both regions seeking employee placements from their respective areas for ticket checking and operation.
