New Mumbai-Delhi Rajdhani Express via Bhopal to take less time! Indian Railways uses new push-pull technology
According to a press release issued by Central Railways, train number 22221/22222, namely the Mumbai-Hazrat Nizamuddin AC bi-weekly Rajdhani Express will now run through push-pull mode with one electric engine in the front and the other at the rear end of the train.
This method will provide the extra power needed to accelerate and decelerate, hence boosting the speed. Apart from improving engine acceleration, it will also render a better turnaround time.

Railways may ban plastics in 36 stations
Nodal officers nominated to each of the 36 stations will devise an action plan with verifiable indicators within one month to achieve the target. The implementation of the eco-smart project comes in the wake of an order of the National Green Tribunal (NGT), sources in the Southern Railway said on Tuesday.
Among other prominent railway stations shortlisted for the scheme are New Delhi, Mumbai Central, Howrah, Allahabad, Lucknow, Guwahati, Secunderabad, Visakhapatnam, Bhubaneswar, Pune, Mysuru and Jaipur.
Single use plastic products were banned in Tamil Nadu from January 1, 2019.

Like airlines, railways to issue linked PNRs for onward journeys, no cancellation fee for train delays

The facility, which will begin from April 1, will be beneficial for those passengers who are booked on continuous trains for their onward journeys and get delayed due to fog, protests or any other reason during their trip.

This MDU-Chennai Tejas is a good for nothing Train. Instead of introducing "Train 18" which can cover the distance in just 4 hrs they have introduced this Tejas which covers the distance at 6.5 hrs at 4 times the cost than current Vaigai AC Chair Car which covers the same distance at 7-7.5 hrs max at just Rs 600.
Even if they introduce 2 more Vaigai trains at 6 AM & 6 PM it will still run full house due to heavy demand. But why care for some southern TN state?
Now no flight users will travel as this is a slow train and no normal users will travel as its 4 times costlier for no good so eventually this train is going to run empty. May be they just want to introduce something and later claim that people dont want better quality trains when infact it travels no faster than a car.
May be Vande Bharat will come to TN after 5 or 6 or 10 yrs when they replace the current fleet with new ones.
