Ever since T-18 production has started, Print Media of Madhya-Pradesh ( true to its reputation) has been needlessly writing FAKE news about replacement of existing NDLS-BPL SHT by T18 ( VB) train..
IR seems to be very clear about running T-18 trains on new routes for now..Only & after IR identify & run T-18 on new routes, the existing SHTs may be replaced by T-18 rakes, where ever necessary..
