  • To Questions More Trains with New Generation
    82 Oral Answers [RAJYA SABHA] to Questions More trains with new generation coaches in NER *253. SHRI Bhubaneswar Kalita: Will the Minister of RAILWAYS be pleased to state: (a) whether it is a fact that North East Frontier Railway (NFR) is in the process of providing more trains with new generation coaches; (b) if so, the details thereof along with names of the trains which would be provided with these coaches and the cost thereof; and (c) the extent to which these coaches would provide safety and comfort to the passengers? THE MINISTER OF RAILWAYS (SHRI PIYUSH GOYAL): (a) to (c) A Statement is laid on the Table of the House. Statement (a) to (c) Yes, Sir. The passenger coaches plying over Indian Railways have been designed with the necessary safety features considering the operating conditions over Indian Railways. However, with a view to providing safer and more comfortable journey to passengers, Indian Railways have decided to proliferate new generation coaches, namely, Linke Hofmann Busch (LHB) coaches, which are technologically superior, safer and have better riding and aesthetics as compared to conventional Integral Coach Factory (ICF) coaches. LHB coaches have higher carrying capacity, higher speed potential, and increased codal life as compared to ICF coaches. LHB coaches also have better safety features than ICF coaches because of a superior design that reduces the chances of derailment and reduces the possibility of grievous injury or death in case of accidents. The Production Units of Indian Railways, from the year 2018-19 onwards, are producing only LHB coaches. Replacement of trains operating with conventional coaches into Linke Hofmann Busch (LHB) coaches is being done in a phased manner.

  • Purchase of ACEMU, DEMU & MEMU Coaches from Non-Railway

Enhancing speed of trains: At present, speed of trains of Mail/Express trains is below 55 kmph. These are low as per international standards. Segregation of freight and passenger traffic, enhancing the sectional speeds, and rationalization of stoppages are important measures for speed enhancement. The speed of especially the passenger trains is quite low at present primarily because of the coaching stock in use and due to multiplicity of stoppages enroute. There is scope for speeding up of these services by replacing trains with conventional stock by fast moving EMUs/MEMUs/DEMUs. Enhancing the sectional speeds is another enabling factor in speeding them.
