Asks for ideas and suggestions on the six new AC trains that will roll in on that line this year
Passengers' associations have stressed on keeping the existing services intact while bringing the AC trains as an additional service
Following reports about the possibility of air-conditioned trains in Mumbai, the Central Railway on Friday formally announced details of the train and invited passenger associations from across Mumbai to send suggestions for the new trains.
The plan is to run 40 services across the main, harbour and trans-harbour lines between 6 am and 9 pm on the slow line only. However, passengers' associations have stressed on not disturbing the existing services, and instead running the air-conditioned trains as an additional service. The railway board has asked manufacturers Integral Coach Factory to give priority to the Central Railway, allotting them six of the 12 AC trains.
