Today is another proud day for the Indian Railway as Prime Minister Narendra Modi will flag off the 11th Vande Bharat Express today at Bhopal, the Capital of Madhya Pradesh. This train, which will cover 708 kilometres in 7 hours and 45 minutes, will run from Bhopal’s Rani Kamlapati station to Hazrat Nizamuddin.
Incidentally, Hazrat Nizamuddin has been chosen instead of New Delhi railway station to save half an hour.
