Viral Now: British TV Personality Wowed By Cleanliness And Food On Vande Bharat Train

In the recent past, several videos of foreigners enjoying their train experiences in India have gone viral. One of them was shared by Narinder Kaur, an Indian-origin television personality and social commentator based in the UK. She recently took to X to praise the rail network in India and share glimpses from her journey onboard a Vande Bharat train. Commenting on the history of railways in India, she wrote, "Britain didn't give India its rail networks as a gift or to help locals; in fact they made them to extract wealth OUT of India and into Britain. But look how far Indian railways have come!"

I've been on that Amritsar to Delhi train more than once. Superb and air conditioning too.

True. That's globalization at its best, buy technology from the best, source raw materials from surplus nations, finance it cheaply worldwide, manufacture where it makes sense, and sell to those who can afford it. Buy from Germany, run it in India. Both win.

Taking an eight hour train journey earlier in the year from Delhi to Shimla, with one change, it arrived a few minutes early. Seats were comfortable, packed breakfast were provided, along with a couple of good quality newspapers. Very different on the Cheetak Express in 1986.

Thousands of trainsets, hundreds of Amrit Bharat stations. Next decade is going to be huge. Are railways are still behind comparatively to the uk. But within the next decade we will match and beat western railways in some aspects.
