Railways Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw shared pictures on social media platform X of the upcoming Vande Bharat sleeper trains
“Concept train - Vande Bharat (sleeper version). Coming soon… early 2024”, the minister's caption read
As seen in the picture, the Vande Bharat sleeper trains will have two and three tier options
The design of the berths is entirely different from those in Rajdhani and other premium trains
Vande Bharat sleeper trains will allow passengers to travel long distances on these high-speed trains overnight
The minister did not specify when will the new sleeper Vande Bharat train start running next year, but a report claimed that it could be February 2024
Manufactured at the Integral Coach Factory (ICF) in Chennai, the train set stands as a symbol of the 'Make-In-India' initiative and showcases India's engineering prowess
The Indian Railways has introduced the concept for the Vande Bharat trains from October 1, under which the coaches will be cleaned in just 14 minutes
This concept exemplifies Japan’s bullet train model, where the trains are cleaned in seven minutes
