First Vande Bharat Sleeper train: A big gift is about to be received by railway passengers. Adding a new chapter to India’s modern trains, the first sleeper version of Vande Bharat can run from Patna to Delhi very soon. It is expected to be launched before Diwali. Although the railways have not made any official announcement yet, but according to media reports and sources, the services of this train are ready to start. This train will bring relief to those passengers who are looking for comfort, safety, and modern facilities in long-distance travel.
Patna to Delhi journey now takes only 11.5 hours
According to sources, this train will leave Patna at 8 am and will reach Delhi at 7.30 am the next day. Till now, the journey from Patna to Delhi used to take 12 to 17 hours, but this train has the ability to go up to 180 kmph, due to which the travel time can be reduced by about one and a half hours. The special thing is that with the sleeper facility, passengers will not have to travel sitting all night, but can travel comfortably lying down.
The fare is a little higher, but the facilities are many times more
According to railway sources, the fare of the Vande Bharat Sleeper train can be about 10 to 15 percent more than the Rajdhani Express. However, despite the higher fare, this train is far ahead in terms of facilities. Passengers can now avoid inconveniences in overnight travel. Different options will be available for passengers in AC First, AC 2-Tier, and AC 3-Tier classes. A total of 1128 passengers have been arranged for travel, so that more people will get a chance to travel even during festivals and busy times.
Equipped with modern facilities – an excellent combination of safety and comfort
Special attention has been given to the convenience and safety of passengers in this train. CCTV cameras have been installed in every coach so that monitoring can be done during the journey. LED screens have been provided for entertainment so that there is no boredom during the journey. Automatic doors provide both convenience and safety to the passengers. There is also a facility of onboard announcements so that important information is received on time. Apart from this, WiFi facility has also been provided in the train so that it is easy to stay connected to the internet during the journey.
Railways have also incorporated many modern technologies for safety. Fire barrier walls and crash buffers have been installed in the train so that the damage can be reduced in case of an accident. Such steps make travel safer and reliable for the passengers.
Big relief for Bihar and Uttar Pradesh
Travelling from Bihar to Delhi and other metros during festivals is the most challenging. Especially on festivals like Diwali, trains are completely full and travel becomes difficult. In such a situation, this train will bring relief to the people of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. This service can prove to be a boon for those who travel long distances frequently for a job, education, or to meet family. The new train will not only save time but will also improve the travel experience.
A big step in the direction of railways
This is the first time that a sleeper facility is being included in the Vande Bharat train. Till now, Vande Bharat has had only a chair car facility, which made long-distance travel difficult. But the addition of a sleeper class makes this train more useful for common passengers. This has struck a balance between modern technology and the needs of passengers. This step of the railways is being considered an important effort towards strengthening the high-speed train network across the country.
The wait is over – only the Diwali announcement is pending
Although its official launch date has not been revealed yet, it is likely that it will be launched before Diwali. This train running from Patna to Delhi is going to give a new identity to rail travel in India. Bringing the best combination of comfort, safety, speed, and modern facilities for the passengers, this train can completely change the travel experience. Now we just have to wait for the railways to announce their launch, and passengers across the country can take advantage of this new facility.
