The Thiruvananthapuram-Kannur segment of the Vande Bharat Express train will be tested on April 22.
The first Vande Bharat Express train to travel through Kerala will be flagged off by Prime Minister Modi on April 25th. The semi-high-speed railway will operate between Thiruvananthapuram and Kannur. According to sources, two Vande Bharat trains have been authorised by the government for Kerala.
