A Look Inside The Delhi–Varanasi Vande Bharat Sleeper Express

In the clip, Akshay points out the comfortable interiors that the first-class coupe has. The compartment has water bottle holders, charging points, reading lights, and window blinds. There is also a button to blur the window on the coach door and maintain privacy.

The cabins in the Sleeper train have interiors similar to the coupe. The steps to climb to the upper berths are made of non-slippery material. The berths are ergonomically designed with improved cushioning.
