The train is scheduled to operate six days a week, departing Patna in the evening and arriving in New Delhi the next day, offering a smooth and time-efficient journey.

Big boost for Bihar–Delhi travellers

For residents of Bihar and frequent travellers to the national capital, the video has reinforced that the much-awaited Sleeper Vande Bharat is nearly ready to roll.
