Rail Coach Factory, RCF, rolled out country’s first air conditioned double decker coach for oscillation trials on Delhi- Muradabad section. The Minister of Railways, Ms. Mamata Banerjee inspected the sample AC double decker coach at New Delhi Railway Station after its arrival from RCF, Kapurthala today. <br/><br/>She had earlier announced the introduction of AC double decker trains while presenting the Railway Budget 2010 in the Parliament in the month of June, 2009. RCF will start manufacturing the double decker coaches after successful completion of oscillation trials. These futuristic high speed-stainless steel AC coaches would be introduced to cater to the heavy rush of commuters in high density corridors offering AC travel at a low cost. The first double decker train will be seen running on rail tracks by end of this year. The new coach with pleasing green-yellow colour scheme has all the features and the comforts of a Shatabdi coach.<br/><br/>General Manager, RCF, Mr. Pradeep Kumar, congratulated all the officials of the organisation who worked relentlessly on this project and gave it a final shape in record time of only 9 months. He said that double decker trains will herald a new era in rail travel in the country, because now a common man will be able to afford air conditioned travel at a low cost.<br/><br/>
