On which corridor did Vande Bharat Sleeper services first begin?
- A.Varanasi-New Delhi
- B.Howrah-Guwahati
- C.Bengaluru-Mumbai
- D.Pune-Kalyan
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Howrah-Guwahati, where the sleeper version of the Vande Bharat train entered service in January 2026. The Bengaluru-Mumbai train belongs to the same family and was described as a further expansion of overnight travel on modern trains. Option A is wrong in sequence rather than in fact: the Varanasi-New Delhi sleeper was flagged off only one day before the Bengaluru-Mumbai service, so it came much later than the first corridor. Option C is wrong because the Bengaluru-Mumbai link is the one being introduced now, and it is therefore not the earliest. Option D is wrong because Pune and Kalyan are intermediate halts on the route of the new train and not a sleeper corridor of their own. Remember the order for the examination: Howrah-Guwahati first, then Varanasi-New Delhi, then Bengaluru-Mumbai.
