Tickets for the Vande Bharat Express, India’s fastest train, are sold out for the next 10 days, the railways said on Monday. The train will run five days a week, except on Mondays and Thursdays.

According to officials, the train is 121 per cent booked for Tuesday, 112 per cent for Wednesday, 109 per cent for Friday and 114 per cent for Saturday.
