Vande Bharat Express In Bihar: When the Indian Railways develop the Vande Bharat Express network in Bihar, four new high-speed trains may soon arrive in Muzaffarpur. Before deciding on the routes and operations, the Railway Board has asked for a feasibility study to see if this expansion is feasible.

The fastest semi-high-speed train in India, the Vande Bharat Express, is expected to expand its service in Bihar. Muzaffarpur is a primary focus of the railway authorities’ consideration of expanding the state’s train network. Four more Vande Bharat trains might run from the city if they are allowed. According to a report by Live Hindustan, the East Central Railway (ECR) has directed the Sonpur division to carry out research and compile a thorough report in order to assess the viability of this idea.

The responsibility of collecting data has been assigned to railway authorities at Muzaffarpur Junction. Teams from the operating and commercial divisions will examine operational, infrastructural, and passenger demand over the course of the following 15 days. After that, the report will be sent to headquarters for evaluation.

New Vande Bharat Train Routes That Are Being Considered
Sources claim that the Sonpur division has proposed Vande Bharat services on the following lines from Muzaffarpur to the Railway Board:

The route from Muzaffarpur to Delhi

From New Jalpaiguri to Muzaffarpur

A trip from Muzaffarpur to Howrah

From Varanasi to Muzaffarpur

The review procedure is now being expedited by the Railway Board. Authorities want to make sure these routes are viable before introducing the new services.

Why the Report on Feasibility?
In order to ascertain if a proposed project is feasible and advantageous, a feasibility assessment is an essential first step. It looks at a number of things, including:

Technical viability: Evaluating railway capacity and infrastructure.

Economic viability is determined by examining expenses, prospective income, and affordability.

Operational Impact: Assessing the potential effects of additional services on current rail timetables.

Demand from Passengers: Recognizing the need of Vande Bharat trains on certain routes.

This research will assist in making sure that the growth of Vande Bharat services is thoughtfully planned and advantageous for travelers.

Feedback from Passengers Will Be Gathered
At Muzaffarpur Junction, railway authorities will also ask passengers for their opinions as part of the feasibility study. At the station, they will collect passenger comments and examine booking data from the Passenger Reservation System (PRS). Finding out which locations have the most demand and if there is a significant demand for Vande Bharat trains are the objectives.

To guarantee objective findings, the research will be carried out in confidence. Officials will also evaluate the potential effects of introducing these high-speed trains on current rail services.

The Railway Board will examine the results and choose the final routes and timetables when the feasibility study is finished and submitted. If authorized, Muzaffarpur may quickly develop into a significant Vande Bharat Express service center, improving connectivity and giving travelers quicker choices for transportation.
