New Vande Bharat Sleeper to Run Overnight Between Varanasi and Delhi

Indian Railways has introduced a new Vande Bharat Sleeper train that will operate overnight between Varanasi and the national capital, Delhi. The service is part of the railways’ effort to provide faster, more comfortable long‑distance travel.
The timetable for the train has been released, confirming that it will depart in the evening from Varanasi and arrive in Delhi the next morning, offering a convenient option for passengers preferring an overnight journey.
Details of the intermediate stops have also been made public, indicating that the train will call at key stations along the route, though the exact list has not been enumerated here. The fare structure includes multiple classes, aligning with the Vande Bharat brand’s premium positioning while remaining accessible to a broad segment of travelers.
Business Today reported that the introduction of this sleeper variant expands the Vande Bharat family, which previously comprised only day‑time services, and is expected to boost passenger traffic on the Varanasi‑Delhi corridor.
The launch underscores the railways’ broader strategy to modernise its fleet and improve connectivity between major economic hubs in northern India.
