Get ready for a comfortable and seamless train ride! India's latest railway innovation, the Amrit Bharat Express, promises to eliminate unpleasant jerks and offer a smoother travel experience. Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself will flag off the first two trains on December 30th, 2023, from Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh.
These trains, connecting Darbhanga in Bihar to Anand Vihar in Delhi via Ayodhya, and Malda Town in West Bengal to Bengaluru, boast a maximum speed of 130 km/h. But the real star of the show is the cutting-edge technology onboard.
Gone are the days of jolting starts and stops. Amrit Bharat trains utilize "semi-coupler technology," a unique advancement that joins coaches in a way that practically eliminates the dreaded jerks. This is a significant upgrade from the traditional couplers used in many existing trains, which often caused discomfort for passengers.
But the smooth ride doesn't stop there. The trains are also equipped with "push-pull technology," featuring two engines – one at the front and one at the rear. This not only provides better acceleration and deceleration, saving time at bridges and curves, but also enhances safety and operational efficiency.
The comfort factor doesn't end with the advanced technology. Passengers can expect a range of additional amenities on board, including:
- Horizontal sliding windows for improved ventilation and scenic views.
- Dust-sealed wider gangways for easier movement between coaches.
- Aerosol-based fire suppression systems for enhanced safety.
- Emergency disaster management lights for preparedness.
- Floor guide fluorescent strips for better visibility in low light.
- Bench-type design for LWS coaches for increased seating space.
- Segregation of reserved and unreserved coaches with sliding doors for better organization.
The Amrit Bharat Express marks a significant step forward in India's railway modernization efforts. With its focus on passenger comfort, safety, and efficiency, these trains are poised to set a new standard for travel experiences across the country. So, buckle up and get ready for a smoother, more enjoyable journey on the Amrit Bharat Express!
