The first commercial run of the Vande Bharat Sleeper train between Kamakhya, Guwahati and Howrah has received an overwhelming response from passengers. The Railway Ministry said that all the seats were booked within a few hours of opening the ticket reservation. The swift sell-out of tickets reflects passengers’ eagerness to experience the speed, comfort and modern amenities of the Vande Bharat Sleeper. The train was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi last week.
The train is scheduled to commence its maiden commercial journey from Kamakhya with effect from tomorrow and from Howrah on Friday.
