Vande Bharat Confusion at Vijayawada: Passengers Board Wrong Trains

• Passengers at Vijayawada Railway Station face confusion as two Vande Bharat Express trains arrive almost simultaneously on adjacent platforms (6 and 7).
• The Visakhapatnam-Secunderabad and Secunderabad-Visakhapatnam Vande Bharat trains stop with only a five-minute gap, leading to passengers mistakenly boarding the wrong train.
• A passenger narrowly avoided an accident after boarding the wrong train to Visakhapatnam instead of Secunderabad, disembarking from the slowly moving train.
• Elderly, first-time travelers, and those not paying close attention are particularly affected due to identical train appearances and close arrival times.
• Passengers urge railway authorities to use distant platforms, provide clear announcements, large digital displays, and dedicated staff to resolve the issue.

Why It Matters: Simultaneous arrival of two Vande Bharat trains on adjacent platforms at Vijayawada causes significant passenger confusion.
