Railway Sleeper Vande Bharat
The Railways will begin operating the Sleeper Vande Bharat Express, which will be significantly different from the current Vande Bharat Express.
Many facilities are provided to the passengers in Vande Bharat train. However, the current Vande Bharat train offers many amenities to passengers. Consequently, there are demands for its extended routes. Currently, Vande Bharat trains operate in 75 or more states. Due to high demand in many cities, the train operates both morning and evening.
Five routes are almost fixed.
Five routes have been finalized for the Railway Sleeper Vande Bharat. As trains become ready, they will begin operating on these designated routes. According to Indian Railways, this train will operate over long distances. The first train is expected to run from Delhi to Kolkata, traveling via Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. Other routes include the Delhi-Mumbai, Delhi-Ahmedabad, Delhi-Bengaluru, and Delhi-Bhopal routes. However, initially, trains will operate on only a few routes.
This will be a 24 coach sleeper train.
This 24-coach sleeper train will have 1st AC, 2nd AC, and 3rd AC classes, similar to the Rajdhani Express. It will offer many of the same amenities as airplane passengers.
Very good arrangements for defense too
Safety features have also been significantly enhanced, with armor systems, crash-proof design, and anti-climber features.
The ministry says that just as there is a distinction between chair car and executive class in Vande Bharat, passengers in 1st AC will be offered more amenities than in 3rd and 2nd AC. The berths will be more cushioned than in existing trains, and the food and beverages will be more special than in other classes. Additionally, these coaches will have a higher number of attendants.
