We are trying our best to begin the construction of the passenger terminal hub in November-December. The bullet train station will also have connectivity with Metro, and a footbridge will connect Ram Nagar and Metro station through a skywalk. Interestingly, the bullet train’s station at Sabarmati, will also carry Bapu’s imprint in form of the famous ‘charkha’ – the spinning wheel that the Mahatma used as a symbol of ‘swadeshi’ during the country’s freedom struggle. It will be visible in the pictures taken from the top,” confirmed Dhananjay Kumar, PRO of NHSRCL.Kumar added, “The process for land acquisition is going on. If not, we will certainly start the construction in January 2019.”The Sabarmati terminus of the bullet train will be between the existing Ram Nagar station, which is the main station for trains heading to Mumbai, and the Ranip station, which is connected to Saurashtra route..
