The newest Vande Bharat Express, which will greatly increase connection between Lucknow, Ayodhya, and Gorakhpur, will be officially launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday. This eight-coach railway is being introduced before the anticipated opening of the Ram Mandir in 2024 and before the Ayodhya airport project is finished. The Vande Bharat Express, which runs between Ram Janmabhoomi and Gorakhnath in Uttar Pradesh, is anticipated to become a popular route for pilgrims.

Ayodhya will be only two hours distant from both Lucknow and Gorakhpur thanks to the semi-high-speed train’s reduction in journey time.

Prior to the inauguration of the Vande Bharat Express, neither Gorakhpur nor Ayodhya had Shatabdi or Rajdhani connectivity. This will greatly enhance the possibilities for pilgrims travelling to these holy sites.

The following are some essential facts about the Vande Bharat train service between Lucknow and Gorakhpur:
