New Delhi: Passengers to Jaipur can now take a ride on an air conditioned double-decker train. Railway Minister Mukul Roy flagged off the train at a function in the capital which was attended by Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit and a host of other political leaders and senior railway officials.
The train will run between Delhi's Sarai Rohilla and Jaipur and carry 120 passengers in a coach as compared to about 80 passengers in a conventional coach. A ticket will cost Rs. 347.
The train will leave from here at 5.35 pm and arrive in the Pink city at 10.05 pm the same day.
In the return direction, commencing regular services from
August 25, the Jaipur-Delhi Sarai Rohilla Double Decker AC will depart
from Jaipur daily at 6 am to reach Delhi Sarai Rohilla at 10.30 am the
same day.
Comprising eight AC chair car coaches and two power cars, the double-decker AC train services will stop for 2 minutes each at Delhi Cantt., Gurgaon and Gandhi Nagar, Jaipur stations enroute in both directions.
In all, Railways proposes to introduce five AC double-decker trains across the country, the first of which started running last year between Howrah and Dhanbad. Mumbai-Ahmedabad is next in the line to have a double-decker train.
