Let us know what is special about Vande Bharat Sleeper compared to Rajdhani Express and how it will completely change your traveling experience.
#1 Why and how is Vande Bharat Sleeper Train different from Rajdhani Express?
When it comes to long distance premium trains, till now ‘Rajdhani Express’ has been considered the safest and most comfortable train. But keeping in mind the modern engineering and changing needs of passengers, Vande Bharat Sleeper has been designed on a completely new concept. Vande Bharat trains work on Distributed Power Traction technology, compared to the ICF or LHB linkage technology of Rajdhani Express. This means that every second coach of the train has a motor installed in it, due to which the train reaches its maximum speed (160 km per hour) in a very short time and there is no jerk when braking. Additionally, the Vande Bharat sleeper interiors, cushioning of berths, automatic air-sealed doors and gangways are extremely modern and noise-free as compared to Rajdhani Express.
#1 No RAC issue and completely digital passenger management
The biggest problem in long distance travel is ‘RAC’ (Reservation Against Cancellation) ticket, in which two people have to travel by sitting or squeezing on the same berth. But according to the new and strict rules of Railways, there is no provision of RAC in Vande Bharat Sleeper train. In this, all the berths will be completely confirmed, so that passengers will not have to face the inconvenience of overcrowding and seat sharing. Apart from this, every coach within the train has been provided with modern sensor based bio-vacuum toilets, touch-free sanitary fittings and specially accessible facilities for persons with disabilities. The entire ticket checking and passenger information system of the train has been equipped with artificial intelligence and automatic display board, due to which the passengers get accurate information at every moment.
#1 End of fear of luggage being stolen: Hi-tech surveillance and anti-theft system
Often the biggest concern of passengers during train travel is the safety of their expensive luggage and belongings. To crack down on thieves and anti-social elements, state-of-the-art security cover has been prepared in the Vande Bharat sleeper train. Night-vision CCTV cameras have been installed in every coach and corridor of the train, whose live feed is directly monitored by the train guard room and RPF squad. Along with this, the luggage storage space near every berth has been designed in such a way that passengers can be completely assured of their luggage even while sleeping. The automatic sliding doors will open only when the train comes to a complete stop at the station to prevent entry of unauthorized people or vendors.
#1 World-class berth design, featuring reading lights and charging ports
The sleeping experience of the passengers inside the Vande Bharat Sleeper has been designed to be extremely comfortable. Its AC-1 (AC 1st), AC-2 (AC 2nd) and AC-3 (AC 3rd) tier cabins are fitted with specially designed ergonomic mattresses (Orthopedic Cushions), which do not allow you to feel back pain or fatigue during long journeys. Each berth is provided with individual LED reading lights, mobile and laptop charging sockets, bottle holders and magazine pouches. Additionally, the train is equipped with an integrated climate control system that automatically balances the inside temperature and ventilation according to the outside weather, so passengers never feel suffocated or extremely cold.
