Launching on the Delhi-Lucknow route, this 20-coach behemoth will accommodate over 1,400 passengers. Highlights include memory foam mattresses in private cabins, ambient LED lighting, and individual charging ports at every berth. Forget bumpy rides—the train’s air-suspension system ensures butter-smooth travel even at 130 kmph.
Technology takes center stage with KAVACH anti-collision systems, Wi-Fi hotspots, and infotainment screens playing movies and news. The modular design allows quick maintenance, minimizing downtime. Passengers will also enjoy e-catering options and priority boarding for business class.
