After a three-decade wait for faster rail connectivity between Mumbai and Bengaluru, and exactly a year after the Centre promised a superfast train on the route, the Vande Bharat Sleeper has finally begun moving towards Mumbai. 

A 16-coach sleeper rake earmarked for the service is being moved from its manufacturer, Integral Coach Factory (ICF) in Chennai, to CSMT, raising hopes that the long-pending service could finally become a reality.
