New Delhi, Sep 06: During its trial run, the Indian Railways' Vande Bharat Express train went past the 180 kmph speed limit on Friday. And this time, Southern Railway shared a video of the trial run to show the stability inside the new coaches even when it's running at such high speed.
As the train clocked 180-183 kmph, it remained so stable that a glass filled with water to the brim remained as it is.
"Take a look at the new Vande Bharat rake on trial run clocking 180-183 Kmph. A glass filled to the brim with water stays stable even as the train speeds at 180 Kmph," captioned Southern Railway while sharing the video.
