With Vande Bharat sleeper, Indian Railways eyes trains better than Rajdhani Express; 20 features

印度铁路将推出新版“致敬印度号”列车

Indian Railways is looking to change the face of travel in the coming years with the introduction of new Vande Bharat trains that will be "far superior" to Rajdhani and Shatabdi trains. In her Budget speech this year, FM Sitharaman had announced the plan for rollout of 400 Vande Bharat trains over the next 3 years. Railways recently floated the tender for 200 sleeper type Vande Bharat trains, even as it works to introduce over 100 chair car versions.

印度铁路公司希望在未来几年改变旅行状况，推出新版“致敬印度”号列车，该列车比Rajdhani和Shatabdi列车“好得多”。

在今年的预算演讲中，印度财政部长西塔拉曼宣布了未来3年推出400列“致敬印度号”的计划。

印度铁路公司最近在招标200列卧铺“致敬印度”列车，同时也在努力引进100多列硬座车

The new Vande Bharat sleeper trains are expected to be a big upgrade from the premium Rajdhani Express service. Indian Railways has said that the new trains will have passenger amenities comparable to that of "best-in-class" trains globally in terms of comfort, functionality and aesthetics. It has asked the bidders to study the exsting LHB sleeper coaches and ensure that the passenger amenities and facilities are "far superior".

新版“致敬印度”号卧铺列车预计是Rajdhani特快的重大升级。

印度铁路公司表示，新列车的客运设施在舒适度、功能和美学方面可与全球“一流”列车媲美。

铁路公司已要求竞标者研究现有的LHB卧铺车厢，确保客运设施“更好”。

The fully air-conditioned trains will be designed for a life of 35 years to be used for long and medium distance services. According to the tender documents, the sleeper trains would be made of stainless steel or aluminum, with the latter being a first for railways. Similar to the exsting Vande Bharat trains, these will have driving cabs at both ends, allowing them to run in either direction without a locomotive.

全空调列车的设计寿命为35年，用于中长途服务。根据招标文件，卧铺列车由不锈钢或铝制成，后者是首次用于铁路。

与现有的“致敬印度”号列车类似，这些列车将在两端安装驾驶室

The 16 car train sets will have 11 AC 3-tier coaches, 20 car trains will have 15 and 24 car trains will have 19 coaches. All three configurations will have 4 AC 2-tier coaches and 1 First Class AC coach.

16节车厢的列车配备11节3A车厢，20节车厢的列车配备15节3A车厢，24节车厢的列车配备19节3A车厢。这3类列车都有4节2A车厢和1节FC车厢练。

Design of train coaches especially the toilets, wash basins, attendant berths, middle berths etc. needs a major overhaul. There are lot of model examples to learn from, for example from the toilets of commercial planes, which are compact but allow seamless entry and ext along with a decently hygienic experience.

火车车厢的设计，尤其是厕所、洗手池、卧铺等需要大改。

有很多可以借鉴的典型例子，比如航班的厕所，虽然很紧凑，但可以无缝进出，而且还能提供很好的体验。

Dr Pashi Tikoo

Good job  Request railway ministry to add vandae Bharat train to commute from Pune to Jammu,as we are totally dependent on air route which is not economical for aiddlr class family.

干得好，要求印度铁道部增加从普纳到查谟的“致敬印度”号列车，目前我们完全依赖航班，这对中产家庭来说不经济实惠。

Krishnakumar

Ensure water in the toilets and hand wash throughout the travel. As on date this is not happening. Quality/Taste of food should definitely improve. Even in shathapthi while we were travelling from Chennai to Bengaluru, the food was so so....

确保厕所有水，在整个旅行过程中能洗手。

就目前来看，这是不可能的。

餐食的质量/味道也要改善。

Should be rolled out as early as possible with simultaneous passenger awareness who must protect them as their own property not as a 'sarkari' one fit for destruction.

应该尽早推出，同时乘客要意识到，必须把列车当作自己的财产来保护，而不是像“纱丽”一样可以随意弄坏。

Sophistication is not comfort. Give us adequate space and leg room to sit or sleep. That's enough. Give crowds of non reserve passengers a chance to sit decently. Give us simple clean toilets. Let hawkers serve us cheap snacks for the huge number of passengers.=

先进不代表舒适。给我们提供足够的空间，可以坐下或睡觉，这就够了。给那些没有买到坐票的乘客一个体面地坐下的机会。给我们提供干净的厕所，让小贩为我们提供美味的小吃。

In paper all looks good we had been talking about this three years ..,Please implement fast roll out let the ppl start using it ..,Rather than investing in new line modification to be done in exsting line so that train can run faster ..

都是纸面上的，我们已经说了三年了。请快速推出，让人们可以搭乘..

与其投资新线路，不如对现有线路进行改造，这样火车能跑得更快。

Passengers need to show civic responsibility when using public facilities afterall it is the taxpayers money

乘客们在使用公共设施时，应该表现出公民的责任感，毕竟是纳税人的钱买单的

In India we are capable of starting world class facilities. But we lack maintenance. Over a period of time, it becomes dirty and most of the fixtures broken or damaged.,We have to evolve a system to maintain the facilities and replace damaged ones.

在印度，我们有能力建立世界一流的设施，我们缺乏维护。一段时间后，房子就会变脏，大部分固定装置也会损坏。我们应当建立一套系统，维护这些设施并替换损坏的设施。

James Theophil

Western toilet seat covers should be soft close spring type.

西式马桶盖应采用软闭弹簧式。

Ravindra Ps

Manufacturing is possible but maintaining all facilities and kee it functional throughout will require dedicated staff and special resolve of Railways to keep it functional.

造出来是可能的，但维护所有设施并保持其运转需要专门的员工负责，铁道部要下定决心

Prahlad Natchu

Great to see all these in the news IR will make it happen one day for sure. Best of luck

很高兴在新闻中看到这些，总有一天，印度会实现的。祝好运！

ssundararaman

Have the average speed of trains gone up in years.....are tracks fit for .........?

这么多年来，火车的平均速度提高了吗？铁轨是否适合？

Vikas

In my view, for maintenance, upgrading, infrastructure development etc.etc.,Railways should increase the fare by 5p /km for 2nd class and 10 - 15 p /km for A/C travelers.

在我看来，铁路公司应将二等车厢的票价提高5派萨/公里，空调车厢的票价提高10 - 15派萨/公里，用于维护、升级设施等。

Ponraj Abraham

Don't introduce new set of modern trains. Improve first the exsting trains as is done in Mumbai - Chennai route in the area of converting diesel to electric engine, increasing minimum average speed 70km/hr, doubling of railway line, neat and tidy toilets, decent canteen services. Apart from that what else common public wants from the railway?

不要引进新的现代列车，先改进现有的列车吧，改成孟买-金奈线那样，将柴油发动机改造为电动发动机，

将最低平均速度提高70公里/小时，铁路双线化，提供干净整洁的厕所，体面的食堂服务。

做到这些后，民众还想铁路公司做什么？

Subho Dey

Upgrading train is the need of the hour but how will the government upgrade the mentality of the travelling passenger

火车升级是时代的需要，但如何提升旅客的素质呢

RAMAMOORTHY

Hats off to Railways.

向印度铁路致敬！

RAMAMOORTHY

Great improvement and amenities for the travelling public. The Minister for Railways and staff deserve full mark and appreciation.

改善很大，便利了公众的出行。给印度铁道部部长和工作人员打满分，点赞。

Ishaan Guest

Good step towards improving the overall traveling experience in trains.

朝着改善火车旅行体验迈出了很好的一步。

Ganesh Parameswaran

Only two toilets per coach? It will be nightmarish in long distance journeys. All talk about passenger comfort will mean nothing and even cruel if even exsting "comforts" are taken away.

每节车厢只有两个厕所？那长途旅行是一场噩梦。

如果连现有的“舒适”都被剥夺，那么所有关于乘客舒适度的讨论都将毫无意义，甚至是残酷的。

dhaldawnekar

Train tracks must be upgraded to handle better speeds. Also the trains must be maintained. Huge fines must be imposed on people found damaging or misusing Trains or any Railway property.

印度铁轨应当升级以适应更高的速度。此外，必须维护列车。损坏列车或任何铁路财产的人必须处以巨额罚款。

Sham

Railway stations are in poor state. The punctuality of trains are in poor state. Not only that even mentality of Indian travelers is pathetic. The fittings in railway coaches are stolen or broken. Many times I have seen the bed linen being stolen by the travelers from air-conditioned coaches. This also needs to be prevented.

火车站的状况很差，火车的准点率很低。不仅如此，印度旅客的素质也很可悲，车厢的配件或被盗或被损坏。我曾多次看到旅客从有空调车厢里偷走床单。这也需要加以预防。
