Ernakulam Marshalling yard mein Vande Bharat trains ke liye maintenance facility banayi gayi hai. Service Ernakulam se subah 5 baje shuru hone wali hai, aur dopahar tak Bengaluru pahunch jaayegi, aur shayad raat 11 baje Ernakulam vapas aayegi.

Passengers ne pehle bhi maang ki thi ki Vande Bharat service subah Ernakulam pahunche aur shaam ko Bengaluru jaaye.
