Indian Railways is undergoing a rapid transformation, with modern trains and upgraded routes enhancing the travel experience across the country. A significant step forward in this modernisation is the introduction of the Vande Bharat Express, a semi-high-speed train designed to offer faster, more efficient, and comfortable intercity travel. Kerala is set to benefit from this innovation with the launch of its third Vande Bharat Express, which will connect Ernakulam in Kerala with Bengaluru in Karnataka.
This new route, scheduled to begin on November 7, will further enhance connectivity between the two states while offering passengers a premium travel experience. The Ernakulam-Bengaluru Vande Bharat Express (Train No. 26651/26652) will run through major cities like Coimbatore, Palakkad, Tiruppur, and Erode, cutting down the travel time significantly. The train will travel at speeds of up to 160 kmph, completing the journey in just 7 hours and 40 minutes.
General Key Details of the Ernakulam-Bengaluru Vande Bharat Express
The train will operate six days a week, with services suspended on Wednesdays for maintenance. The route will provide a seamless travel experience with eight modern coaches, including 7 air-conditioned chair cars and 1 executive chair car. These advanced coaches are designed to offer enhanced comfort, quick boarding, and smooth travel, ensuring passengers enjoy a comfortable journey.
General Stops Along the Route
The train will stop at several important stations en route, including:
- Thrissur
- Palakkad
- Coimbatore
- Tiruppur
- Erode
- Salem
- Krishnarajapuram
These strategically located stops will not only reduce travel time but also cater to passengers travelling to and from key cities along the way.
General Schedule and Timings
The new Vande Bharat Express will run as follows:
Train No. 26651 (Bengaluru to Ernakulam)

Arrival: 1:50 PM at Ernakulam
Train No. 26652 (Ernakulam to Bengaluru)

General The Bigger Picture: Vande Bharat’s Impact in Kerala
This new addition is part of the broader effort to modernise Kerala’s railway network. Kerala already boasts two operational Vande Bharat trains that have drastically reduced travel times between key cities. The Kasargod-Thiruvananthapuram-Kasargod and Mangalore-Thiruvananthapuram-Mangaluru services have been well received for their punctuality and upgraded amenities, setting a high bar for the new Ernakulam-Bengaluru service.
As Indian Railways continues to expand the reach of the Vande Bharat Express, these trains are expected to play a pivotal role in boosting tourism, facilitating faster business travel, and enhancing overall passenger comfort across the country. With the launch of this new route, Kerala’s rail network is all set for a significant upgrade, ushering in a new era of faster, more reliable, and more comfortable train travel.
