Wow! Delhi To Patna In Just 8 Hours - New Vande Bharat Sleeper Train To Ensure Confirm Berth, Fully AC Faster Travel

Delhi to Patna, Muzaffarpur, Chhapra, and Hajipur are some of the Indian Railways' train routes on which finding a confirmed seat often proves to be a challenge due to the heavy rush throughout the year. The waitlisted passengers are forced to travel without a confirmed berth and undertake a cumbersome journey. However, the Indian Railways has now likely planned to run the newly unveiled Vande Bharat Sleeper train between Delhi and Patna. This means, the commuters will now have an option for one extra train with better amenities. Since it's fully AC train, only passengers with confirmed ticket will be allowed to board the train.
