  • Also, you will see a separate gate to go from one compartment to another. For this also you will have to press the green button on the door.
  • If we talk about train seats, there is only a sitting option on this train, hence the seat needs to be comfortable. If you are travelling for a long distance, then the train seat will not be comfortable for you.
  • Also, if you are travelling in the winter season, you may find it costly to travel by Vande Bharat.
  • This is because almost all trains get delayed due to fog. In such a situation, if your journey from Delhi to Banaras has to be completed in 8 hours, then it may take you 16 hours.
  • Now you can understand what will be the condition of your back if you sit for 16 hours.
  • In the winter season, Vande Bharat train also gets late by about 6 to 7 hours. In such a situation, this train may prove costly for people travelling long distances.

  • Therefore, before booking train tickets, get information about the train timings of the last few days. If the train is running late, book the ticket wisely.
