Following a good response to the vista dome coaches in both Deccan Queen Express and Deccan Express, the Pune railway division is all set to introduce these coaches in two more trains running between Pune and Mumbai and Pune and Secunderabad namely, Pragati Express (number 12126) and Shatabdi Express (number 12025), respectively.
As per information given by the central railway (CR), in June last year, one vista dome coach was attached to the Deccan Queen Express for the first time after which on August 15, one more such coach was added looking at the response from passengers. Whereas in May 2022, one vista dome coach was attached to another train, Deccan Express, ahead of the summer vacations. And now it has been decided to start the vista dome coach service in Pragati Express (Pune to Mumbai and back) starting July 25 and in Shatabdi Express (Pune to Secunderabad and back) beginning August 10. Both these trains had been stopped since the countrywide lockdown in March 2020 and are resuming operations after a long gap.
