New Delhi: Facing a cash crunch, railways has decided to increase passenger fare by about 2 percent for the second time this year to offset additional financial burden of more than Rs 1200 crore arising out of the increased fuel and power cost.While the passenger fare hike would be effected from October 7, a parallel hike of about 2 percent in freight would also be revised from October 10 under the fuel adjustment component.A passenger will have to shell out about Rs 20 more for a Rs 1000 ticket from Monday. The revised fares will also apply to tickets issued in advance for journey to commence on or after October 7.The hike in passenger and freight tariff would help railways mop up about Rs 1,250 crore in the last six months of the current fiscal, sources in the ministry said.The suburban and non-surban fares would, however, remain untouched and there will be no change in reservation and superfast surcharges.

The decision on the fresh round of hike has been taken under the system of fuel adjustment component (FAC) about which an announcement was made in the 2011-12 rail budget.

Railways has taken into account the additional burden of 7.3 percent increase in diesel price and about 15 percent in electricity hike.

While the fare of AC and sleeper class will be increased by about 2 percent, the freight rate will go up by 1.7 percent, as per the decision.

Railways has imposed 15 percent levy as the busy season charge on all commodities from October 1 and the FAC-linked revision is likely to take effect from October 10.

According to the budget proposal, the fuel component is segregated from tariff as FAC and the railways is expected to revise the passenger and freight tariff after every six months taking into account the input cost and the prevailing market condition.

A futuristic train that could on day become the future of underground rail travel has been unveiled.

A full-size concept model of Inspiro - a driverless train that is more energy efficient than current models in use with more creature comforts for commuters, will go on show at an exhibition in London.

Siemens, the company behind the concept, has hinted that next generation Tube trains like Inspiro, which costs a whopping £1million a carriage, could be built in Britain if the mayor placed an order for the new trains.This is a full-size concept model of Inspiro - a driverless train that is more energy efficient than current models in use with more creature comforts for commuters that will go on show at an exhibition in LondonThe carriages are lit with LEDs and are fully air conditioned, as well as doing away with dividing doors separating the carriages, to give 30 per cent more capacity than some of the older carriages in use on the London UndergroundThe Inspiro is 30 per cent more energy efficient and 20 per cent lighter than similar modern metro trains.The carriages are lit with LED lights and are fully air conditioned, as well as doing away with dividing doors separating the carriages, to give 30 per cent more capacity than some of the older carriages in use on the London Underground.

Controversially the train does not rely on a human driver and if ordered for the capital one day, would not be popular with trade unions. 

The Tube of the future? 21st century vision of London train

Siemens said that commuters would also benefit from wider openings in the carriages to avoid the rush-hour crush of people piling on and off the underground trains

The news, reported by The Evening Standard, that the train could potentially be built in Britain, follows the Government's decision to award funding to Transport for London for the Tube specifically, based on its claim that new orders for carriages will be given to firms based on Britain.

London-based commuters pining for a more spacious and stylish way to travel to work will be able to see the concept model from October 8, when it goes on show on the site of The Crystal in Royal Victoria Docks.

An accompanying exhibition will also highlight technologies built to help travellers find their way more easily, as well as the latest development in ticketing and passenger information systems, that could make navigating cities easier in the future.

While the interior might looks welcoming, controversially the train would not rely on a human driver and if ordered for the capital one day, would not be popular with trade unions

Steve Scrimshaw, managing director of Siemens Rail Systems UK, said: 'London, in common with many large cities around the world, faces significant transport challenges as a result of ongoing population growth and increased capacity demands.

'Our exhibition highlights some of the innovations that can be considered by cities to help their metro systems tackle these issues and help passengers benefit from an improved travel experience. We wanted people to have a really personal experience, sitting in the seats of a brand new, futuristic train and interacting with the exhibits on display in a way that not only informs but excites at the same time.'
