From LCD infotainment touch screens to LED lighting, the much-awaited Anubhuti coach will reportedly have features which we get to see on planes. Earlier this year, it was reported that the Indian railways were all set to introduce special AC luxury class “Anubhuti” coaches in its Shatabdi trains. The features have been designed keeping the comfort of the passengers in mind.
A senior official had told the media in 2013 that the Anubhuti coach would first be introduced in Chandigarh Shatabdi and will then be followed by Jaipur Shatabdi. “We will be beginning the Anubhuti trial with Chandigarh Shatabdi to be followed with Jaipur Shatabdi. Later on, all Shatabdi trains will be equipped with one Anubhuti coach in a phase-wise manner,” a Railway Ministry official was quoted as saying.
The modern interiors were reportedly designed at a cost of Rs 2.5 crore. As per a report in Financial Express, one Anubhuti coach was ready and allotted to Western Railway. However, the fares and the routes have not been decided as yet. Without further ado, here are the features of Anubhuti coach:
– The elite coach has executive chairs with reclining features which will also have foot rest.
