Despite the arrival of one more air-conditioned train on Tuesday, Central Railway (CR) will not be increasing its AC local services immediately due to public opposition and glitches in its existing fleet. The new train will be used as a backup.

Following sustained complaints, Mumbai railway officials have also realised that the existing fleet of trains is plagued by technical issues, from a faulty air-conditioning system to water leakages to glitches in the door-closing mechanism. CR has also summoned a team from the manufacturers—the Chennai-based Integral Coach Factory—to iron out all the snags.
