The Jamnagar – Ahmedabad Vande Bharat Express train will extended to Surat via Vadodara in attempt to achieve full occupancy on board.
Jamnagar – Ahmedabad Vande Bharat Express train was launched in September this year. It significantly cuts the travel time between two cities and also offers fast and luxurious connectivity to Sanand, Surendranagar, Wankaner and Rajkot on route. However on regular basis it is not achieving 100 percent occupancy. The main and high-spending traffic from Ahmedabad to Jamnagar route is towards a leading pilgrim place Dwarka which is not connected through this train. On the reverse direction, from Jamnagar to Ahmedabad side, the occupancy can be perhaps improved if the train also connect Vadodara and Surat. It is now learnt that the train would be extended to Surat, covering Vadodara also on the route.
