Watch: Front Seat View From Vande Bharat Express Is Mesmerising

Ever wondered what it would be like to get a front view inside a train? The curiosity to know what lies ahead as the train moves through its narrow tracks is intriguing for people of all ages. The Indian Railway Ministry has made an attempt to give a glimpse of the entire journey with a first-row ticket. The Railways has published a time-lapse video of a stunning vista from the cabin of the loco pilot in a running Vande Bharat Express. The footage, which has since gone viral, has left viewers mesmerised.

The video, which was shared on X, provides a rare peek into the front-seat view of the high-speed train, which is recognised for its cutting-edge technology and sleek design. The video was taken by Saurabh Raut and later shared by the railway authorities.

“The Vande Bharat experience lived by a few, on your screens! Delve into unparalleled perspective with the loco pilot’s view as the Vande Bharat Express progresses to its destination,” reads the caption.

Users were quite enthralled by the picturesque view as the train glided through its route. Many people reacted to Vande Bharat’s cabin perspective in the comments section.

Some users said, “Cabin view is Fantastic,” “Like a video game feeling…wonderful.”

An individual expressed, “Good idea to show live front cabin view and rear cabin view on the screens in every coach. If not, then in a rotational manner.” while another said, “Super Train loco pilots are great and all railway people work for it. Greats to all railway staff.”

There were others who thought that a time-lapse video can often be misleading. A user wrote, “Why a timelapse video? It’s misleading the public into a wrong perception that this train is fast!!” while another pointed out, “It would have looked good if actual video uploaded instead of fast forwarded video.”

A netizen appreciated the video and pointed out that, “Looks good but the video is in FF mode. The real train experience is still much slower. Request Fast Track speeds to 160 KMPH consistent in all routes.”

Vande Bharat Express is known for its cutting-edge technology and sleek appearance, representing a significant advancement in India’s rail transit capacity. This is India’s first semi-high speed train with first-rate passenger amenities. On February 15, 2019, the first train in the series began service between Delhi and Varanasi. The Integral Coach Factory (ICF) in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, manufactures India’s first indigenous trains.
