The minister highlighted the introduction of several innovative features aimed at enhancing passenger comfort and safety.
The new sleeper coach is designed with a special roof to ensure passenger safety. This is a significant upgrade from the conventional designs and is expected to provide an additional layer of protection to the passengers.

One of the standout features of the new prototype is the reduction of jerks, sound, and vibrations in the train. This is expected to significantly enhance the travel experience, providing a smoother and quieter journey.
With the construction of the car body now complete, the next phase is the furnishing of the coach. The minister expressed optimism about the progress, indicating that the train will soon be ready to roll out.
These innovations in the Vande Bharat sleeper coach prototype represent a significant leap in Indian Railways’ commitment to improving passenger comfort and safety. As we await the rollout of the train, these developments certainly raise the bar for future advancements in the sector.
