Vande Bharat Sleeper: In the upcoming weeks, Indian Railways hopes to launch the first Vande Bharat sleeper train. In comparison to the Rajdhani Express trains, the prototype train set for long-distance travel, constructed on the Vande Bharat platform, is intended to provide a quicker and more comfortable travel experience.

The Rajya Sabha was notified by Union Railways Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw that preparations for VB Sleeper trains for long-distance and intermediate-distance travel were in the works.
