The Vande Sadharan is an Indian push-pull train, designed and developed by Indian Railways at its Integral Coach Factory in Chennai. It aims to provide comparable amenities to the Vande Bharat trains at lower costs.
Overview
Vande Sadharan trains have upgraded second-class 3-tier sleeper coaches and second-class unreserved coaches. This non-AC substitute for Vande Bharat trains is intended to serve passengers at a low cost. In contrast to other Indian trains, they have locomotives at both ends, enabling quicker acceleration and shorter turnaround times. There are 22 Linke Hofmann Busch (LHB) coaches on the trains consisting of 12 sleeper class, 8 general and 2 luggage coaches. The train has charging stations, bio-vacuum restrooms, and passenger information systems. CCTV cameras are installed in the carriages to improve passenger safety.
