Hyderabad: The Secunderabad – Visakhapatnam Garib Rath Express (12739) will soon feature upgraded Linke Hofmann Busch (LHB) coaches, marking a significant improvement in passenger comfort and amenities. This change comes as the Indian Railways replaces the older Integral Coach Factory (ICF) coaches with newly designed LHB rakes.
Earlier, the Indian Railways had announced that all Garib Rath trains would be fitted with modern AC Economy coaches. The new LHB coaches are set to enhance the travel experience on this popular route, known for its affordable fare structure.
The upgraded Garib Rath Express will now consist of 20 LHB coaches, including 18 Third AC Economy coaches and two generator motor cars. The new AC Economy Class coaches will offer 81 seats equipped with features such as bottle holders, foldable snack tables, Divyang-friendly facilities, modern toilets, climbing ladders for middle and upper berths, individual AC vents, reading lights, and USB charging sockets.
South Central Railway (SCR) officials anticipate that these new coaches will begin service on various routes this month, promising a more comfortable and modern travel experience for passengers.
