Ongole: The Secunderabad-Tirupati Vande Bharat Express was welcomed with a large fanfare at Ongole railway station, on its maiden service on Saturday.
The South Central Railway introduced Vande Bharat Express between Secunderabad and Tirupati and proposed to stop the train at Ongole also.
According to the schedule from Sunday, the 20701 Secunderabad to Tirupati Vande Bharat Express will start at Secunderabad at origin at 6 am and reaches Tirupati at 2.30 pm.

The enthusiastic public grabbed a glance at the indoor and outdoor features of the train and tried to feel the aeroplane-like cushion in seating and take note of other facilities.
The railway staff and attendants made sure the visitors left the coaches before the start of the train, as the guests flagged off the train after the halt at the station.
