including 250 schoolchildren, traveling to Prayagraj, Kanpur, and New Delhi. The regular service will operate as train number 22415, departing from Banaras station at 6:00 AM and arriving in New Delhi at 2:05 PM. The return service, train number 22416, will depart from New Delhi at 3:00 PM and arrive in Banaras at 11:05 PM. This is the second Vande Bharat train in Varanasi, the first one (train-18) was launched in 2018. The train's platform at Cantt station was decorated for the occasion, and large screens were set up for live broadcast of the event. The train was moved from the washing line to the platform at 12:15 PM. The flag-off ceremony was attended by Labor and Employment Minister Anil Rajbhar, with the train manager (guard) Rajesh Kumar Verma and the loco pilot Om Prakash Vishwakarma also flagging off the train. 66 children who participated in a quiz, essay, art, and debate competition held on December 14th and 15th were awarded prizes. DRM Dr. Manish Thaplyal, Senior DCM Rekha Sharma, and Senior DSC Ashutosh Pandey of RPF were also present. Schoolchildren were excited to be among the first passengers on the Vande Bharat, with a special halt at Madho Singh station to allow them to disembark after a short ride. Experienced staff, including loco pilots and train managers with over five years of experience, were chosen to operate the train. The train features safety features and amenities like a metro-style announcement system, an intercom system for communication between the loco pilot and the train manager using code words, and an emergency button on the engine. The train is designed to only stop at high-level platforms as it lacks steps for passengers. Passengers who accidentally board the train can inform the train manager through the intercom system but cannot disembark without a stop. Passengers expressed their excitement about experiencing the journey on the Vande Bharat.

Kanpur, aur New Delhi jaane ke liye the. Regular service train number 22415 pe chlegi, jo Banaras station se subah 6:00 AM pe chlegi aur New Delhi pe dopahar 2:05 PM pe pahuchegi. Return service train number 22416, New Delhi se dopahar 3:00 PM pe chlegi aur raat 11:05 PM pe Banaras pahuchegi. Ye Varanasi mein dusri Vande Bharat train hai, pehli (train-18) 2018 mein chali thi. Cantt station pe train ke platform ko event ke liye sajaya gaya tha, aur live broadcast ke liye bade screens bhi lagaye gaye the. Train ko washing line se platform pe 12:15 PM pe laya gaya. Flag-off ceremony mein Labor and Employment Minister Anil Rajbhar bhi the, aur train manager (guard) Rajesh Kumar Verma aur loco pilot Om Prakash Vishwakarma bhi train ko flag off kiye. 14 aur 15 December ko hue ‘Sanatan Bharat aur Punarodhdhar’ topic pe quiz, essay, art aur debate competition mein 66 bacchon ko prizes diye gaye. DRM Dr. Manish Thaplyal, Senior DCM Rekha Sharma, aur RPF ke Senior DSC Ashutosh Pandey bhi present the. School ke bacche Vande Bharat mein pehli baar travel karne ke liye bahut excited the, aur Madho Singh station pe ek special halt thi, jahan bacchon ko thodi der ki ride ke baad utare gaya. Vande Bharat Express ko chalane ke liye experienced staff, jisme 5 saal se zyada experience ke loco pilots aur train managers hain, ko chuna gaya. Train mein safety features aur facilities jaise metro style announcement system, loco pilot aur train manager ke beech code words se baat karne ke liye intercom system, aur engine mein emergency button bhi hai. Train ko sirf high-level platforms pe hi roka ja sakta hai, kyunki ismein passengers ke liye stairs nahin hain. Agar koi galti se train mein chad gaya, toh wo intercom system se train manager ko bata sakta hai, par bina stop kiye beech mein utarna possible nahin hai. Passengers ne Vande Bharat mein travel karne ke experience ko enjoy kiya aur unki journey ki tamanna puri hui.
