There was a lot of excitement when we heard after completion of doubling and electrification of Hubli - Bengaluru route in Mid March, we will see a Vande Bharat running on this route (Possibly from Dharwad to Bengaluru). Some news agency also reported that the trail run will start very soon in April. Still no update on this from the SWR? After the Karnataka election result, (it seems and my personal view) the newly elected government dosen't seem very keep on the rail development and providing land where the cost sharing is 50-50.
