Jaipur, August 14 (IANS) The trial run of Rajasthan's third Vande Bharat train between Udaipur and Jaipur has been successfully conducted.

According to railway sources, herds of cattle came in front of the train at many places throughout the journey.

In such a situation, its fare was also not announced.

Its schedule will be issued by the Railway Board on the green signal of the Prime Minister's Office (PMO).

There is a plan to run it six days a week except Sunday.

Equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, this semi-high speed train has eight coaches and 530 seats.
