The Indian Railways is set to transform travel in Jammu and Kashmir by launching two new trains. A centrally heated sleeper train and a specialised Vande Bharat Express are expected to start operations soon, further improving connectivity and comfort for passengers. A centrally heated sleeper train is being planned to connect New Delhi and Srinagar. Key features include: Contrary to speculation, the Vande Bharat sleeper service will not debut on this route for now. For the 246-km Katra-Baramulla stretch, the Indian Railways will introduce an eight-coach Vande Bharat Express with chair car seating. Special features: Baramulla railway station, 57 km from Srinagar, will benefit from this new service. Katra, a major pilgrimage hub as the gateway to the Mata Vaishno Devi shrine, already has a 16-coach Vande Bharat Express service to New Delhi. The new Vande Bharat on the Katra-Baramulla route will allow seamless connectivity for passengers. Convenient transfers : Passengers can travel from New Delhi to Katra on the existing Vande Bharat Express and transfer to the new train to reach Srinagar or Baramulla. The Katra-Baramulla Vande Bharat service is expected to become operational by late next month, offering a faster, more comfortable travel option for residents, pilgrims, and tourists.
