The Ministry of Railways has increased the composition of the Delhi‑Patna Vande Bharat Express by adding extra coaches, aiming to boost capacity on the popular route.
New Delhi – The Indian Railways announced that it has augmented the Delhi‑Patna Vande Bharat Express with additional coaches. The move is intended to accommodate the growing passenger demand on one of the country’s fastest and most sought‑after services.
The decision follows a review of occupancy trends that indicated the train often ran at near‑full capacity. By extending the rake, the railway hopes to reduce crowding and improve comfort for travelers between the capital and Bihar’s capital.
Railway officials also released a revised timetable reflecting the longer formation, ensuring that the added coaches are integrated without affecting the train’s overall speed or punctuality. The changes are slated to take effect from the upcoming schedule revision.
Passengers have been advised to check the updated reservation system for seat availability on the expanded service. The enhancement underscores the railways’ broader effort to modernise premium services while meeting rising demand.
