India is set to launch its first Vande Bharat sleeper train, potentially by the end of January, on the Delhi-Kolkata route. This new service aims to significantly reduce travel time for passengers across Delhi, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, and Bihar. While specific stops in UP and Bihar are unconfirmed, major halts like Kanpur, Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Junction, Prayagraj, and Patna are being considered. The train is designed for comfortable, long-distance overnight journeys, addressing high demand on this busy corridor.
