Railway reduces sleeper coaches in second Mumbai-bound express train

CHENNAI: Nearly 18 months after reducing the number of sleeper coaches from five to two in the Chennai Central-CSMT Mumbai Express (22159/60), the Central Railway has now cut the sleeper coach count in another Mumbai-bound train — Chennai Egmore-CSMT (Mumbai) Superfast Express (22157/58) — from eight to five, as part of the transition from conventional ICF coaches to LHB coaches.

The railway authorities have issued orders formalising these changes.
