Traveller from Bhutan reviews Vande Bharat (Instagram)<\/span><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

A train can be super impressive on its first day of inauguration but the real test comes months later. It comes after hundreds and thousands of passengers have travelled in those initially shiny compartments on countless journeys. And that\u2019s exactly what this Bhutanese traveller named Anusha, known as Annu Sia on Instagram, set out to discover. The woman travelled solo in the Guwahati\u2013Howrah Vande Bharat Sleeper after six months, again. And her verdict has taken the internet by storm. The train had passed her \u201csix-month vibe check\u201d. In her video, she said she found the premium sleeper service was still remarkably clean, modern and supremely comfortable.Anusha lives in Assam and had previously travelled on the train around its launch. She returned to the train to see whether the initial shine had lasted. This time, she travelled solo in First AC from Guwahati towards Kolkata. \u201cI was fully prepared to find our Guwahati to Kolkata Vande Bharat completely trashed today,\u201d she said in her Instagram video.She was \u201cshocked\u201d<\/span>The traveller in the video says she was completely \u201cshocked\u201d to see the Vande Bharat Sleeper setting a new standard for overnight rail travel. After boarding, Anusha said she was offered tea before she began inspecting the First AC coach. Her first impression was of a spacious and modern cabin that, according to her, remained \u201cactually spotless\u201d even six months.But Anusha chose to test a much tougher benchmark, the bathroom\/washroom\/toilet.Spotless bathrooms and good food<\/span>She said the First AC section had an actual shower area and was surprised to find it clean even after six months of use. She also said the food tasted just as good as it had on her first trip.Her conclusion was the premium train had retained much of the experience that had impressed her on day one.Why Vande Bharat Sleeper train matters<\/span>The Guwahati\u2013Howrah service is more than another addition to India’s Vande Bharat network. It is the country’s first Vande Bharat Sleeper service and was introduced specifically to bring the semi-high-speed train concept into long-distance overnight travel.The Ministry of Railways announced the Guwahati\u2013Howrah route in January 2026 after the train had completed its trials, testing and certification.Features:<\/span><\/p>\n
