Empty Vande Bharat ran 463 km with reported brake fault, probe finds
An empty Vande Bharat train covered 463 kilometres from Hatia to Deen Dayal Upadhyaya station even though it had brake problems. Two loco pilots had flagged a fault with the power brake before the train set off. An investigation found that the brakes on every coach had been isolated, which caused a joint brake failure. A South Eastern Railway document attributed the lapse to staff negligence in connecting the braking systems.
