These new Railway lines in Jammu and Kashmir region is a huge PR opportunity for India.
Govt should call and fund tons of Influencers and YouTuber to cover these new lines.
Talgo crashed and flopped in trails on the same tracks were LHB coaches run 110-130 kmph. So the point is not suitable to run any kind of rakes above 160 kmph due to steep curves until the tracks and alignments are upgraded.
Now that's a handsome trainset totally in contrast to the locomotive pulling LHB eyesores with bogeys of different liveries themselves further eyesores attached to form a train we've grown accustomed to seeing across the length & breadth of the country.These new Railway lines in Jammu and Kashmir region is a huge PR opportunity for India.

One train set each from the E5 and E3 series will be delivered to India in early 2026, after they are fitted with inspection equipment, according to informed sources.
The Japanese and Indian governments plan to adopt in the early 2030s the next-generation E10 series shinkansen of JR East for the roughly 500-kilometer high-speed rail link between Mumbai and Ahmedabad in western India. The delivery of the E10 trains will unlikely be in time for the line's partial opening, aimed for August 2027.
The supply of the E5 and E3 trains will come also because Tokyo places importance on having Japanese train cars in India when the high-speed line enters into service.
The inspection trains will collect data on driving conditions, including the effects of high temperatures and dust, to aid possible future production of E10 trains in India.
Initially, E5 trains were planned to be adopted for passenger service on the high-speed railway. Frustrated at the high costs and postponements in the delivery, however, India was tilting toward the idea of using homemade train cars.
To break the deadlock in the negotiations, the Japanese side late last year proposed the introduction of E10 trains and free-of-charge provision of E5 and E3 trains. India signaled an intention to basically accept the overture.
