The state-of-the-art Train 18 will run between Delhi and Varanasi, the Railways told the Parliament on Friday. In a reply to a query in the Rajya Sabha, Minister of State for Railways Rajen Gohain said 36 train set coaches have been planned to be manufactured during 2018-19 at Integral Coach Factory (ICF), Chennai.
“The ICF has turned out one such rake of 16 train set coaches in October 2018 which was put on trials. The first Train 18 is proposed to be introduced on Delhi-Varanasi sector,” he said.
Train 18 will be the fastest train from the railways’ stable with the ability to cruise at a speed of 180 kmph. It has contemporary passenger amenities like on-board infotainment and GPS based passenger information system, CCTV, automatic sliding doors with retractable coach footsteps and zero discharge vacuum-based bio-toilets, among others. — PTI
