Officials will face the challenge of finding a route for the Vande Bharat Express, given the existing Shatabdi and Tejas Express routes. A senior Railway Board official confirmed that the Vande Bharat Express will cover the distance between Anand Vihar, Lucknow, and Ayodhya in eight hours. The train is likely to be operational in the morning, as there are no primary maintenance facilities for Vande Bharat trains in Ayodhya. Therefore, the train could be launched from Anand Vihar in the morning and return from Ayodhya in the afternoon. Launching the Vande Bharat Express from Anand Vihar in the evening would result in its arrival in Ayodhya at night, making maintenance impossible.
