Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw has announced the route for the upcoming Vande Bharat Sleeper Train, marking a major step toward modernising long-distance night travel in India. The semi-high-speed sleeper service is scheduled to begin operations in January 2026 and will run between Howrah and Guwahati (Kamakhya), significantly strengthening rail connectivity between eastern and northeastern India.

The new service will benefit multiple districts in West Bengal, including Howrah, Hooghly, Purba Bardhaman, Murshidabad, Maldah, Jalpaiguri and Coochbehar, as well as Kamrup Metropolitan and Bongaigaon in Assam.

The 16-coach Vande Bharat Sleeper rake will include 11 AC 3-Tier, 4 AC 2-Tier and 1 First AC coach, offering a total passenger capacity of 823. With a design speed of up to 180 kmph, the train features ergonomically cushioned berths, superior suspension for enhanced ride comfort, reduced noise levels and automatic vestibule doors.

Equipped with the Kavach safety system, passenger emergency talk-back facility, advanced driver cab controls, modern toilets, Divyangjan-friendly features and enhanced sanitation technology, the train represents a significant technological upgrade. Its aerodynamic design and modern interiors signal a transformative new phase in India’s sleeper rail services.
