People traveling by train during the festival season and holidays face the most problems as it is very difficult to get a confirmed ticket at that time, the wait begins as soon as the booking starts 120 days in advance.
In such a situation, there is a problem in traveling in train with family. There is a good news for these passengers. Their problems will be reduced to a great extent. They will be able to enjoy AC travel on unreserved tickets. Know the plan of Railways-
At present, more than 10 thousand trains are running across the country. These include Shatabdi, Rajdhani, vande bharat These include premium trains like . About 2 crore passengers travel in these trains daily. About 10 percent i.e. 20 lakh people travel after making reservations. During peak season, the number of passengers increases manifold. Railways has made a plan to provide relief to such passengers.
The effort to make such a coach was going on for a long time
The hurdle in installing AC in unreserved coaches was the number of passengers. All the existing AC coaches have a fixed number of passengers. 72 confirmed ticket holders and some waiting ticket holders board the coach. Thus, the number of passengers for that capacity is around 80. When the unreserved coaches are full, the number of passengers is around 250. Therefore, matching the capacity of the coach and AC was necessary. Railways was struggling to make such unreserved coaches for a long time.
Trial of Namo Bharat Rapid Train has been completed
The trial was successful in this train
Recently, coaches with this design have been prepared in the Namo Bharat Rapid Train running between Bhuj and Ahmedabad. According to railway engineers, the passenger capacity in unreserved coaches is not fixed, so the axle load has been kept according to the maximum capacity of 270 passengers, while 15-15 units of AC have been installed so that the coach remains completely cool. Now the way we travel is by metro. According to railway officials, this train is being trialed. In future, unreserved coaches will be designed on this concept.
AC with double capacity than Shatabdi-Rajdhani
In unreserved coaches, ACs with double capacity will be installed as compared to Shatabdi-Rajdhani. According to railway engineers, currently in premium trains like Shatabdi and Rajdhani, two ACs of 8 tons are installed in every coach, but in unreserved coaches, two ACs of 15 tons will be installed in one compartment. So that the coach remains completely cool.
