Title - Double decker overnight AC train to deal with passenger rush on high demand routes

On high demand routes Indian railway will start Uday Double decker AC Express from July to deal with extra rush of passengers. Uday express will run as special class overnight service on routes with high number of passenger traffic.

Every coach will have a capacity to carry 120 passengers. There will be comfortable reclining chairs for passengers and every coach will have food and beverage vending machines.

Routes like Delhi – Lucknow witness high number passengers throughout year; Uday train service will allow passengers to travel from Lucknow to Delhi or vice versa on fare lower than that of AC three tier of regular mail / express trains.

The point to be noted is that these trains will not have sleeper berths despite being an overnight service. These trains will run with a maximum speed of 110kmph on high density routes.
