Chennai-B’luru double-decker express to get second-class coaches

CHENNAI: The Chennai-Bengaluru double-decker express will get five second-class sitting reserved coaches from February 15 onwards. The tickets will be priced at `140 for an end-to-end journey, as per a Southern Railway order dated January 5.

With this, the number of AC double-decker chair car coaches will be reduced from 10 to eight. The train takes 5 hours and 45 minutes to reach Bengaluru from Chennai and will be preferred over superfast trains with second-class coaches in this section which have a minimum travel time of 6 hours and 10 minutes.
