Lucknow-Mumbai AC Sleeper Vande Bharat Route Finalised First Time

The first AC Sleeper Vande Bharat Express is scheduled to launch between Lucknow and Mumbai, promising a notable enhancement in rail travel by providing speed and comfort that exceed those of Rajdhani and Shatabdi trains. Railway officials have finalized the route, which includes stops at Hardoi, Shahjahanpur, Bareilly, Moradabad, Ghaziabad, Nizamuddin, and Agra, benefiting passengers from various districts in Uttar Pradesh.

After conducting months of extensive surveys, the Railways finalized the route for the upcoming Sleeper Vande Bharat Express. The train will start from Lucknow and proceed through Hardoi, Shahjahanpur, Bareilly Junction, Rampur, Moradabad, Ghaziabad, Hazrat Nizamuddin, and Agra before reaching Mumbai.

It is planned to operate four days a week and will consist of 20 fully air-conditioned coaches, offering First, Second, and Third AC classes, along with two SLR coaches. The train will have a capacity of approximately 1,200 passengers. The official timetable is expected to be released in June, with services likely to begin by July.

This new route is anticipated to provide a significant boost to several districts across Uttar Pradesh, especially for daily and frequent commuters traveling to Mumbai. With existing trains such as the Bareilly Lokmanya Tilak Express and Ramnagar-Bandra Express often running at full capacity, the Sleeper Vande Bharat is expected to offer a much-needed alternative. By providing improved speed, comfort, and reliability, the new service is set to transform long-distance train travel for thousands of passengers.
