Good News Mumbai to get its first AC local on January 1

[ABCDEFGH]

• Railway minister Piyush Goyal said on Wednesday that the first AC rake will be introduced on Western Railway on January 1.
• The AC rake will have electrically operated automatic sliding doors with the motorman in control

Initially, WR will run one AC rake with seven services daily. A single ticket is likely to cost the same as a first class ticket, but season passes are expected to be priced around 1.5 times more than their first class equivalents.

The railways has procured nine more EMU (electrical multiple unit) AC rakes for Mumbai so that services can be introduced on Central Railway (CR) as well.

Manufactured at the Integral Coach Factory, Chennai, the AC rake will have electrically operated automatic sliding doors with the motorman in control. Like ordinary locals, the AC train will have a halt of 20-30 seconds at station.

Yes bro I don't see anything going big against BJP and they will easily win next elections given same situation as now.

States with local governments against BJP will continue to be neglected.

What is first and second class in local train? What is the difference? Here there is no such thing like class in local train. Fare varies only if you take express train, passenger and local emu same fare

Well the seats are comfortable as cushions are there on the seats. Because of the high price, it will be less crowed than second class. Second class is very crowded if you are going towards Churchgate in the morning and going towards virar in the evening.
