Extra General Coaches Added To 84 Central Railway Trains To Ease Passenger Rush

Facing flak over packed general compartments, the Central Railway has decided to augment 84 mail/express trains with four general coaches each to clear an extra rush of passengers.

Central Railway daily operates around 180 long-distance trains from various cities to different locations across the country, an official said on Wednesday.

The revised composition of these 84 trains will include 4 general class coaches and one general class, luggage cum guard's brake van each, a CR release stated.

The list of 84 trains includes prominent mail-express trains like Konark Express, Vidarbha Express, Amritsar Express, Chennai Express, Saket Express, and Kochuveli Superfast Express.
