Delhi-Chandigarh rail route to have AC double decker

Railways has decided to start an AC double decker train between Delhi and Chandigarh cities to cater to the growing number of passengers between the two cities.  The 12-coach AC double decker train with fire alarm system is expected to be pressed into service by February next year, a senior Railway Ministry official said.    

Railways is mulling to introduce electrical multiple units (EMU) train sets on Delhi-Chandigarh and Delhi-Amritsar routes to reduce the travel time between these cities, the official said. Train sets are expected to run at a high speed of 130-150 km per hour, thus reducing the travel time.    

The Railways will also invite fresh tender for conducting pre-feasibility study of the 450-km long Delhi-Chandigarh- Amritsar high speed train, he said. New Railway Minister Pawan Kumar Bansal represents the Chandigarh constituency.
