With the rollout of LHB rakes, SECR aims to address the chronic shortage of confirmed tickets on its busy corridors. The extra berths per coach mean that more seats are available for allocation, shortening the waiting‑list queue for travelers heading to major hubs such as Delhi, Amritsar, Chennai and Pune.
Railway officials anticipate that the improved berth availability will translate into faster ticket confirmations, reducing travel anxiety for long‑distance passengers and encouraging higher patronage on SECR’s long‑haul services.
