Vande Bharat Express is name of service like Habibganj - New Delhi Shatabdi Express

The Habibganj - New Delhi Shatabdi Express first went into service on 14 Nov 1988 and has its own page. If train 18 is exported, it will surely not be called VBE! Train 18 is the model number and VBE is the service. Why remove the VBE page? 211.26.202.11 (talk) 15:18, 22 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Good point. However, please mention the source for Train 18 is the model number and VBE is the service. As per govt. source: "Indian Railways has named the indigenously manufactured Train 18 as Vande Bharat Express". —Sarvatra (talk, contribs) 16:05, 22 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Here it says "train 18 sets": https://mumbaimirror.indiatimes.com/mumbai/other/rpf-constable-pravin-kumar-saves-passengers-life-at-malad-station/articleshow/68131216.cms

At 1m20s you can clearly see that the service is named VBE (22436) and Rapti Sagar Express (12522): https://youtube.com/FagL6qPBFF4?t=80 And train booking websites also says train number 22436: https://erail.in/train-enquiry/22436/NDLS/BSB 211.26.202.11 (talk) 17:12, 24 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I see your point. I suggest you create a reliably sourced draft page for Train 18 rolling stock (model), and initiate a request for move. You may take a some ideas from articles in Category:Rolling stock of India and its subcategories. Cheers. —Sarvatra (talk, contribs) 18:23, 24 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This is the train set page. Look up. On 22 Feb 2019, I said "why should the VBE page be removed". Nozomi is a train service in Japan that uses N700 Series train sets. VBE is a service. 211.26.202.11 (talk) 16:52, 25 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Information taken from Facebook page should not be deleted if the page is verified

Information about acceleration which was taken from a verified Facebook Page was deleted multiple times despite information taken from Facebook should not be deleted if the page is verified. Poorva12303 (talk) 11:24, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Poorva12303 facbook is not a reliable source. Please add a WP:PSTS source or it will keep getting removed by others. Venkat TL (talk) 11:37, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Facebook/ Twitter page with Verified tag and if its link is also verified from the official website is not less reliable than news paper and their website. Generally writer is from the respective authority on this verified (the way of verification has already been mentioned) pages which is not for newspapers. Sometimes there are no alternate source. so don't delete it. Poorva12303 (talk) 14:35, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Any idea about a potential Pune-Secunderabad Vande Bharat Express ?

As the route is completely electrified, we can definitely see Vande Bharat coaches set replace the ageing LHB coaches which have been in use since late July 2014.... ArnavSharma602 (talk) 04:11, 28 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Speed and Acceleration

There are few repetitions to easily check and compare with different sources given and as these are not many in numbers, please don’t delete. Readers can easily check the article from its sources. Please don’t delete if a reference is of verified Facebook/ twitter page - the word “verified” is important. @Buddingboffin Poorva12303 (talk) 07:17, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I understand that the information is taken from the verified page.

The information was deleted based on the fact that Facebook is not a reliable source of information. In addition, you mention that the information was taken from a verified page. Hence, it becomes a primary source of information that cannot be used. WP:RSE, WP:OR

I suggest using the same information from the news articles, as if it were information put on a verified Facebook page, it would have been covered in the news articles as well, making it a more reliable source. Buddingboffin (talk) 14:00, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Meaning of name?

What is the meaning of Vande Bharat? This should be mentioned in the article. · · · Peter Southwood ^(talk): 04:41, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

According to Monier Monier-Williams, depending on the context, vande means "to praise, celebrate, laud, extol, to show honour, do homage, salute respectfully", or "deferentially, venerate, worship, adore", or "to offer anything respectfully to".^[1]^[2] Bharat is the indigenous name for India. 103.199.180.19 (talk) 11:42, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As Indian Railways did not assigned any english name to the train it can be translated in various ways like - "India's Pride Express" or "Hail India Express" 103.199.180.19 (talk) 11:52, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Production section is confusing

Production section is confusing. Just names a bunch of companies who are getting tenders without clarifying if any of them completed the order? Which of them actually went into production ? Venkat TL (talk) 07:10, 25 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Speed 160 kmph

@Venkat TL Only Tughlakabad - Agra route is fit for 160 kmph. In an article, speed is mentioned over NCR area so it is written Palawal to Agra instead of Tughlakabad Agra as Tughlakaba - Palwal is under NR. [1], [2], [3]

There is no problem if we mention trial speed is 180 kmph with the word, "trial" to avoid confusion of readers. Poorva12303 (talk) 14:55, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Poorva12303, Where are you suggesting to mention this word trial? In the infobox? Sorry, only one operative speed should be added there. Trial speed and all other speeds should be discussed in the Section named Speed. Please do not remove other sections without any reason. I intend to expand those sections and add more information. --Venkat TL (talk) 18:54, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
