A new video showing India’s first Vande Bharat Sleeper Express is catching attention and giving viewers a close look at what overnight train travel could soon feel like. The visuals offer a glimpse of the
modern design of this upcoming sleeper train, set to run between Patna and New Delhi.
Built for long-distance night journeys, the train aims to offer a faster and more comfortable option on one of North India’s busiest routes.
A Look Inside The New Sleeper Train
The video begins with a view of the train’s automatic doors opening smoothly, giving a glimpse of its modern design. As the camera moves inside, long and clean passageways can be seen, lined with sleeper cabins on both sides. Soft lighting runs along the floor, making it easy to walk through the coach at night. The berths appear neatly arranged, with well-fitted mattresses and curtains that give passengers privacy while resting.
In another part of the clip, the camera walks through the aisle, showing the compact yet comfortable layout of the cabins. The interiors look calm and well planned, clearly meant for overnight travel. The overall design feels more like a hotel corridor than a traditional train coach, showing a clear focus on comfort.
Built For Fast And Restful Night Travel
The Patna–Delhi Vande Bharat Sleeper is expected to cover the nearly 1,000 km distance in about eight hours. With a top working speed of 160 kmph, passengers can board at night and reach their destination by early morning. This makes it one of the fastest overnight train options planned on this busy route.
The train will have 16 sleeper coaches, each designed especially for night journeys. Unlike the daytime Vande Bharat trains, this version focuses on proper rest. Features include improved lighting, better berth design, automatic doors and systems meant to increase safety and comfort during sleep.
A New Option For Busy Routes
This service is meant to cut down long travel hours and reduce pressure on routes that depend on slow night trains or expensive flights. The Patna–Delhi corridor sees heavy demand, and this sleeper train is expected to run several days a week to handle passenger load.
While ticket prices have not been announced yet, the service is likely to be positioned as a premium but fairly priced option for long-distance travel.
Trials Near Completion Ahead Of Launch
With trial runs almost done, the Vande Bharat Sleeper Express is expected to be launched before the New Year. The train shows how Indian Railways is moving towards faster, more comfortable overnight travel, where speed and rest go hand in hand.
