The Union Minister Vashnaw said that the Vande Bharat Sleeper train will prove to be an excellent transportation facility for middle-class families. He added that the train has been built using advanced, state-of-the-art technology with a primary focus on the comfort of both passengers and the crew, including the loco pilots.
Speaking on the occasion CM Yogi Adityanath said that India has witnessed rapid infrastructure growth under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He added that these new rail services will significantly strengthen the connectivity in the Purvanchal region.
The fully air-conditioned, 16-coach New Delhi-Varanasi Vande Bharat sleeper train has a passenger capacity of 823, with one First AC, four AC 2-Tier and 11 AC 3-Tier coaches.
