And trust up, travellers were not prepared for this as the train looks nothing less than a boutique hotel running on railway tracks! It\u2019s absolutely gorgeous and the makeover is so international.<!-- --> The train is set to cut travel time between two metro cities significantly and redefine overnight rail travel. <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"4\"\/>The upcoming Mumbai\u2013Bengaluru Vande Bharat Sleeper service, and its newly unveiled First AC coach is already creating a buzz among travellers. And now the video circulating online revealing its interiors, signals a major leap in comfort.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/>Unlike the existing Vande Bharat trains which are chair-car for daytime travel, the sleeper version has been developed for overnight routes. <!-- -->The Mumbai\u2013Bengaluru corridor is among the most awaited services.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"11\"\/>A look inside:<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/><span class=\"strong\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">A premium experience<\/span><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>As seen in the video, the star attraction of the First AC coach is the private cabin for sure. The compartments have enclosed cabins designed to offer privacy and silence. The interiors have soft shades and modern finishes. The lighting also looks better.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/><span class=\"strong\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">Expensive-looking interiors<\/span><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>Travellers familiar with conventional First AC coaches will see a major shift in interiors. The design focuses on clean lines, and making the space clutter-free. There is another noticeable addition, the easier access to upper berths. The new design shows more convenient steps, making movement safer and more comfortable.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"27\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/><span class=\"strong\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">Comfort is the key<\/span><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"30\"\/>The sleeper version of the Vande Bharat focuses on comfort as passengers often spend 12 to 16 hours onboard. As per details seen in the video, the First AC section has improved berth ergonomics and enhanced lighting systems. <!-- -->These create a calmer environment for extended journeys.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"34\"\/><span class=\"strong\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">Some expected features include:<\/span><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"36\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"37\"\/>Upgraded washrooms<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"39\"\/>Digital passenger information displays<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"41\"\/>CCTV-based security systems<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"43\"\/>Improved lighting throughout the coaches<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"45\"\/>Fully air-conditioned coaches <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"47\"\/><span class=\"strong\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">Significance of Mumbai\u2013Bengaluru Route <\/span><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"49\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"50\"\/>The Mumbai\u2013Bengaluru corridor is important because thousands of people travel between the cities on a daily basis, the two being India\u2019s largest economic centres. The corridor is expected to see significant movement of businessmen, professionals, students, tourists, and travellers. <!-- -->As of now, people rely on air travel because it\u2019s time saving.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"54\"\/>But the upcoming Vande Bharat Sleeper train between Mumbai-Bengaluru will offer a comfortable journey at a much cheaper price. <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"56\"\/>For those who don\u2019t enjoy airport procedures and baggage restrictions, the new sleeper service could become an attractive option when operational.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"58\"\/><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/travel\/mumbaibengaluru-vande-bharat-sleepers-new-first-ac-coach-unveiled-looks-like-a-boutique-hotel-on-rails\/articleshow\/131861792.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A video is circulating on social media showing the new look of Mumbai\u2013Bengaluru Vande Bharat Sleeper\u2019s New First AC Coach.
