Watch: Video Of Crowded Vande Bharat Express Goes Viral!

'Old Video': Railways Reacts To Overcrowding In Vande Bharat Express Passengers are seen standing shoulder-to-shoulder in the aisles Photos and videos of ticketless passengers travelling in reserved coaches of trains are increasingly being shared on social media. This issue is causing significant inconvenience and frustration for passengers who pay for reservations in advance. Recently, Vande Bharat Express, known for its premium service, was also seen overcrowded with ticketless passengers.

 The undated video, shared by Archit Nagar, captured the chaotic scene inside a coach of the Vande Bharat Express, running between Lucknow and Dehradun. In the clips, passengers are seen standing shoulder-to-shoulder in the aisles, and there is very little space to move.

The official X account of Northern Railway responded to the viral video and clarified that it's an old clip. They wrote, ''This is an old video of an incident which occurred when some farmers forcibly boarded the train, but they were later deboarded.''

Meanwhile, several internet users expressed their anger and frustration at such situations and demanded stricter rules from authorities. Many users urged the government to increase the number of passenger trains while some asked for the implementation of the metro's ticketing and verification system at all railway stations.

One user wrote, ''Please increase the number of passenger trains. Vande Bharat aise nahi chalega. Looks like an overcrowded bus.''

 Another commented, ''First, Vande Bharat train system must have dedicated special Railway Police. What is the purpose of buying tickets worth thousands?'' A third said, ''We need more trains; a lot more trains; and affordable trains. How do we expect people to travel?''

The Vande Bharat train is an indigenously manufactured, semi-high speed and self-propelled train set. The train is equipped with state-of-the-art passenger amenities, providing a much faster, more comfortable, and more convenient travel experience for railway passengers.
