Final Train-18 Trial Run | VANDE BHARAT EXPRESS clocks 130+ kmph during Varanasi-Delhi Trial Run.!!

The final trial run of Train-18, now renamed as Vande Bharat Express, between Varanasi-Delhi captured the attention of the people across the UP belt namely of Allahabad, Varanasi. However the craze for the same was riding low among the Delhi Railfans as the trial run of Vande Bharat Express was scheduled arrival in Delhi was of 11:30 pm, now the late departure from Varanasi played the party pooper for all of us as we all concluded that the train 18 will not arrive Delhi before 12 am next day. Ironically the Train-18 trial run turned out to be a rampant run as it raced against time like anything to reach it's destination... at the stroke of 8 pm , the train had departed Kanpur and just at that time i got a call from my RF counterpart Anirudh Jolly that he is planning to capture the returning trials..!! My mind in few seconds got convinced about this offer and we now prepared ourselves to capture the T-18 trials once again. At 10:30 pm, Anirudh jolly arrived at my place and at the same time the T-18 had departed Pora station and was well in course towards it's destination. Now began our dash towards Dankaur and it was now a race between us and T-18 that who will reach Dankaur first, it took hardly 15 minutes for Jolly to cross the long Noida-Greater Noida Expressway stretch and at 10:45 pm we were well within Greater Noida premises. Now as we now headed towards Dankaur station , the whereabouts of T-18 were still unknown, this made us nervous and Jolly now unleashed the Schumacher within him and he raced his car across the broken countryside road like a Mad Max and all thanks to his driving we reached Dankaur station at 11:10 pm, just as we reached Dankaur.. we saw the signal and it was yellow... without a doubt in my mind.. i concluded it will T-18 that will pass now and true to that the same thing happened... In no time i got a call from Ankit Sharma ,who was at Wair station, informing us that the T-18 had just belted past him and in the next 4 minutes, the Train-18 aka Vande Bharat Express came tearing apart the light fog which had engulfed the station area of Dankaur station and belted past the station at over 130 km/hr speed..!! We both were relieved that our dashing run at the cost of our lives finally paid us our dividend... It was a cheerful moment among the railway staff as they were thrilled to see Train-18 at a higher speed than they had anticipated. So our maddening sprint was successful and we won the race against Train-18 by reaching Dankaur station first :D
