The SCR has reportedly considered some other routes also to operate Vande Baharat between Secunderabad and Tirupati, but decided on to operate via Nalgonda – Guntur as it will be the ideal route. Speaking to The Hans India, Tirupati station director K Satyanarayana said the Vande Bharat Express will have eight coaches in which one will be the executive coach. In the executive coach, passengers' seats can rotate in 360 degrees and will have more comfort. The fares include the food being supplied to the passengers. The primary maintenance of the rake will be done at Secunderabad while the other end maintenance (OEM) will be done at Tirupati. Reacting to the proposal to operate the Vande Bharat Express between Tirupati and Secunderabad, several passengers at the station expressed happiness. A passenger said that it will be more convenient to reach Tirupati quickly compared with other trains and will have a comfortable journey. Going by the enthusiasm of the passengers, the train is all set to receive a huge patronage from the initial trips itself.Meanwhile, the rake of Vande Bharat Express reached Tirupati on Friday evening from Chennai. It left for Secunderbad as part of the trial run and will reach the destination at 11.45 pm.
