Indian Railways clarifies no Vande Bharat sleeper service approved for Bhagalpur

Indian Railways has officially clarified that no Vande Bharat Sleeper train service has been approved to operate between Bhagalpur and Anand Vihar Terminal. Recent reports circulating on various social media platforms suggesting that the project has received the green light are completely unfounded and misleading. While there has been continuous public demand and local discussion for this premium overnight connection, passengers should note that the proposal sent to the Railway Board is still pending and has not yet received final official approval. Authorities have strongly advised railway users to rely strictly on official communications from Indian Railways rather than unverified claims shared online for engagement.

Current Status of Vande Bharat Sleeper Trains

As excitement grows around India's upcoming high-speed sleeper network, it is important to understand the actual deployment status. Currently, the only Vande Bharat Sleeper service officially approved by the authorities is planned between Mumbai and Bengaluru, although a specific launch date for this route has not yet been announced. Meanwhile, technological advancements are moving swiftly. Indian Railways recently conducted a successful test run of a 16-coach Vande Bharat Sleeper train at an impressive speed of 160 km-h between Hazrat Nizamuddin and Palwal, which also successfully tested the advanced Kavach safety system. Passengers are encouraged to stay tuned to authentic railway updates for any future announcements regarding new Vande Bharat sleeper routes.
