India's Fastest Train, Vande Bharat Express, Breaks Down Day After Launch

India's first engine-less train Vande Bharat Express, or Train 18, ran at a top speed of 130 kmph on Friday, flagging off a new niche for semi-high speed trains in India.

Story Highlights

Train 18 came to a halt at 5.30 am around 200 km from Delhi
The semi-high speed train resumed its journey to Delhi at around 8.15 am
Railways say possible cattle run over could be the reason for the fault

New Delhi:

Vande Bharat Express, India's fastest train, broke down this morning, a day after its launch by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Delhi. The engine-less train, also known as Train 18, was returning from Varanasi after its inaugural run and broke down about 200 km from the capital. It resumed its journey at around 8.15 am, railways said, after being at a halt for almost three hours.

According to the train staff, the controls have failed and the snag is "unfixable" for now. The train will have to be taken to Delhi to fix the fault and it cannot be driven above 40 km per hour for now. The Railway Ministry has attributed the disruption to a possible cattle run over.

The people on board have been shifted to another train. The train was set to begin its commercial run from tomorrow.

The fault has led to control failures of the air-conditioners of the train. At around 5 am, power went out in some coaches on the train. Before coming to a halt at Chamrola station, the train had slowed down to a sluggish speed of 10 km per hour.

There was also a foul smell and mild smoke which was due to an internal system failure. Due to a deposit in the wheels, the braking system was jammed. Calling it a "mechanical fault in the braking system" the staff said the train made thumping noises when the speed was increased.

The indigenously-built "semi-high speed" train with a top speed of 180 km per hour, had touched speeds of 130 km per on hour, on its inaugural run yesterday.

Railway Minister Piyush Goyal on Friday said he was "encouraged by the positive feedback" received on the run of the Vande Bharat Express and had decided to place an order for hundred more such trains to cover all routes where shorter distances can be covered.

Manufactured by the Integral Coach Factory in Chennai, Vande Bharat Express had all safety clearances, trials and tests in place. It had covered a distance of 7000 km in its three trial runs.
