A social media post claiming that a new Vande Bharat Sleeper service between Visakhapatnam and Bengaluru was being proposed has gone viral, creating excitement among passengers. The post claimed that the train would operate via Nandyal and provide a new premium overnight connection between the two cities. However, South Coast Railway (SCoR) has officially dismissed the information as false. Railway authorities clarified that no such proposal has been initiated by South Coast Railway. The clarification comes amid growing public interest in new Vande Bharat Sleeper services across the country. Officials have advised passengers to rely only on official railway announcements regarding new trains, routes and schedules. They also cautioned people against sharing unverified railway information circulating on social media. For now, passengers hoping for a direct Visakhapatnam–Bengaluru Vande Bharat Sleeper will have to wait for an official announcement from Indian Railways.
