India is a closely interconnected country, not only because of the close relationships between diverse cultures and religions but also because of its railway network system!
Adding to this positive score, the Vande Bharat Express announces its big update on the third variant, the Vande Bharat Sleeper train, which is likely to launch in January 2025! It aims to make overnight travel between Delhi and the beautiful city of Srinagar easier, covering 800 km in under 13 hours.
The prototype of the New Delhi to Srinagar Vande Bharat was revealed in September 2024 by Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw and is being manufactured by BEML. It is still under construction, as per the USBHL project.
On its completion, the responsibility for the train’s smooth operation will fall onto the shoulders of the Northern Railway Zone. If all goes well, the train will extend to Baramulla as well.
India is geared up for this New Delhi to Srinagar Vande Bharat project after the positive response towards the Vande Bharat trains, which made the Indian Railways the 4th best worldwide! Here are some more details on the operational hours and route the train will take:
