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.
Patna To Delhi In 8 Hours
The Vande Bharat fully AC sleeper train will cover a distance of around 1,000km between Delhi and Patna in just 8 hours, if the Indian Railways rolls out the train on this route. At present, the existing trains between the two stations take between 11 hours to 18 hours. Thus, the introduction of the Vande Bharat sleeper will be a big time-saving move for the passengers. The Vande Bharat sleeper can run at a maximum speed of 160kpmh.
Vande Bharat Sleeper Fare
While touted as 'aam aadmi' train, the Vande Bharat sleeper is full of the latest amenities and is a fully air-conditioned express. Its fare is likely to be on the lines of Rajdhani Express. At present, a 3rd AC berth costs around Rs 2,300 in Rajdhani and around Rs 1,500 in other express trains.
Patna-Delhi Vande Bharat Route
While the route and stations are not final yet, the train is likely to follow the path of Rajdhani and may touch upon Kanpur, DD Upadhyaya Jn, and Danapur before reaching Patna. However, the other routes may be Ara, Buxar, and DD Upadhyaya one.
Vande Bharat Sleeper Routes
The Vande Bharat Sleeper will be run on the routes covering a distance of 800km to 1,200 km. Apart from the Delhi-Patna route, it's likely to run on UP's Bareilly to Mumbai in Maharashtra as well.
Vande Bharat Sleeper Capacity
At present, the chaircar version of the Vande Bharat Express has 8 coaches and a total of 530 seats. However, the sleeper Vande Bharat Express will have 16 coaches and 823 seats.
