The Western Railway (WR) is planning to introduce hybrid local train coaches, which will have AC, semi-AC and non-AC compartments.
Both the WR and Central Railway had recently conducted a survey among suburban commuters in which 70 per cent of the respondents had requested them to increase the trips or numbers of AC local trains on the routes.
We are working on introducing more local AC trains in future and planning to have hybrid local trains, which will have both AC and non-AC coaches in the same train. The feasibility test for the same will take place in time,” Alok Kansal, the General Manager of WR, said while speaking to mediapersons.
