Sharing the update on the same, Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw posted a video of the trial runs of the train on the aforementioned route. When operational, the train is expected to cut travel time between the cities. As per an earlier announcement, the train is expected to begin operations on the route on April 10, following the completion of trials.
