You must have noticed the chain seen on the sides of the compartment while traveling in a train. This chain is for passengers to stop the train in emergency situations. This chain is present in all ordinary trains. Have you seen this in Vande Bharat? Many have doubts about how Vande Bharat trains will stop in an emergency situation. Today, many in Kerala depend on Vande Bharat.

Whether in terms of time savings or better travel facilities, Vande Bharat is a step ahead. For journeys that require 10 to 14 hours in normal trains, a maximum of eight hours is enough in Vande Bharat. Many don’t know how to stop Vande Bharat in emergency situations. The chain in a normal train is not seen here. Then how will the train be stopped?

Stopping Vande Bharat Express trains running at a speed of 120 to 180 kilometers per hour suddenly is not an easy task. However, if the train has to be stopped in emergency cases, an alarm button has been installed for the passengers to inform the authorities and contact the loco pilot. It should be used only in the most urgent cases.


There is a camera and a microphone at the place where the alarm is installed. If the alarm is sounded, the loco pilot can see and talk to you. The train will be stopped only if the loco pilot is convinced of an emergency. Indian Railways will take strict action against those who sound the alarm unnecessarily.
