Indian Railways’ new train for common man - new sleeper & unreserved coaches to have Vande Bharat features

印度铁路公司为普通人准备的新列车——新卧铺和无预留车厢，类似“致敬印度”号的功能

Vande Bharat for common man? Indian Railways is looking to introduce a new affordable non-AC train that the common man can look forward to. After ram up the roll out of Vande Bharat Express trains, Indian Railways is now ho to manufacture a new train with upgraded second class unreserved and second class 3-tier sleeper coaches.

普通人坐的“致敬印度”号？印度铁路公司正寻求推出一种普通人可以期待的、价格实惠的新型非空调列车。在加快推出“致敬印度”号特快列车后，印度铁路公司现在希望生产一种新的列车，配备升级的二等无预留车厢和二等三层卧铺车厢。

The name of the new train has not yet been decided, but the idea is to make a train with better travel experience for the common man. The new train will have some features similar to the Vande Bharat Express trains, an official told TOI.

新列车的名称尚未确定，但其想法是为普通人制造一款能带来更好旅行体验的列车。一名官员告诉《印度时报》，新列车将有一些类似于“致敬印度”号特快列车的功能。

However, unlike the Vande Bharat Express which is a self-propelled train set, the new modern train will be loco hauled. The catch is that while most Indian Railways trains are hauled by one locomotive, this will have locomotives at both ends. Importantly, with a locomotive at each end, the train will be able to make use of the push-pull technology for faster acceleration. This will also eliminate the need for locomotive reversal at the terminating station, hence reducing the turnaround time.

然而，与“致敬印度”号特快列车这种自行驱动的列车不同，这款新的现代列车将采用火车头牵引。问题是，虽然大多数印度铁路列车是由一个机车牵引的，但这款列车将在两端都有机车。重要的是，两端各有一个火车头，列车将能够利用推挽技术获得更快的加速度。这也将消除机车在终点站倒车的需要，从而减少周转时间。

The LHB train will have 2 Second luggage, Guard & divyaang-friendly coaches, 8 Second Class unreserved coaches and 12 Second Class 3-tier Sleeper coaches. All coaches will be non-AC.

LHB列车将有2节二等行李车厢，8节二等无预留车厢和12节二等三层卧铺车厢。所有的车厢都没有空调。

The locomotives for this new train are being manufactured at the Chittaranjan Locomotive Works (CLW) and the train coaches will be made at the Integral Coach Factory (ICF) in Chennai. ICF is the only Indian Railways coach factory that is currently manufacturing the Vande Bharat Express trains.

这列新列车的机车正在吉塔兰詹机车厂制造，车厢将在金奈的整体客车厂制造。ICF是目前唯一一家制造“致敬印度”号特快列车的印度铁路客车工厂。

A railway official told TOI that the prototype of the new train is expected to be rolled out by the end of this year, with the Railway Board having set a target of October.

一位铁路官员告诉《印度时报》，新列车的原型预计将在今年年底推出，铁路局已经设定了10月份完工的目标。

Why is the brainless pm not allowing AC coaches to be introduced for poor class people. Just because AC will consume more electricity and the ticket price will be less doesn't mean the poor class doesn't want AC. Whatever is the case he is getting tax from the poor, hence there should be AC made available for the middle and lower class as well for low price range so that even poor people can travel in comfort.....

为什么无脑总理不批准为穷人推出空调车厢？仅仅因为空调车厢会消耗更多的电力，票价更高，并不意味着贫穷阶层不想要空调。无论如何，他从穷人那里征税，因此应该为中下层阶级提供空调，价格也要低，这样即使穷人也能舒适地旅行.....

The story continues, BhajPa in its zeal to prove that it's doing something new has ignored the exsting system upgrade and instead new investment for image management.

故事还在继续，人民党为了证明它正在做一些新的事情而忽略了现有的系统升级，为了形象工程而进行新投资。

Naveen Sharma

Truth is..we need many more sleeper and general class trains. The day every passenger in general class is able to sit and travel, we can say we have made progress. If 80% railways funds are spent kee 20% population in kind..its a shame.

事实上，我们需要更多卧铺和普通车厢。当普通车厢的每位乘客都能有坐票的那一天，才可以说我们取得了进步。如果80%的铁路资金被用来为20%的人口服务，那就太可耻了。

Vante Bharat itself is commin man train, further degradation is foolish and cruel joke to common people.

印度本身就是一列平民列车，进一步堕落是愚蠢的，对普通人而言，是一个残酷的玩笑。

Cant even restore seniors citizens railway benefits, forget everything else.

甚至不恢复老年人的铁路福利，更别提其他的了。

Prathamesh Yamgar

Biggest problem is middle class and lower middle class not getting confirm tickets in sleeper class. They don't need vande bharat. They need confirm sleeper tickets and Railways is doing nothing about it.

最大的问题是中产阶级和下层中产阶级买不到卧铺票。他们不需要“致敬印度”号，他们需要买得到卧铺票，印度铁道部对此无动于衷。

So much space is wasted in rail coaches due to faulty design. If seats as in bus are provided with a luggage rack running across the coach, at least 150 and perhaps 200 seats can be provided to ensure clutter free travel, especially, in unreserved class easily. Each railcoach is as big as two, perhaps more buses, yet despite people being seated on floor, luggage racks and corridors, even a busload of passengers make for a filthy, congested ride in a train unreserved coach.

由于设计错误，火车车厢浪费了这么多空间。如果像公共汽车上的座位一样，在车厢上有一个行李架，那么至少可以提供150到200个座位，以确保车厢内不杂乱，特别是在无预订的车厢。每节火车车厢都有两辆或两辆以上公共汽车那么大，然而，尽管人们坐在地板上、行李架上和走廊上，即使只载了一辆公共汽车的乘客，火车无预留车厢里也会肮脏、拥挤。

The build quality of LHB coaches are very pathetic. Thanks to high level of corruption in sourcing interior fittings and fixtures. The taps and basins in the coaches looks and feels very flimsy and doesn't seem to serve in the long run. ICF coaches had always had trouble free accesories.

LHB车厢的质量堪忧。由于在采购内部配件和固定装置方面存在严重腐败。车厢里的水龙头和洗手盆看起来，摸起来都很脆弱，用不长久。ICF车厢的配件从来不出故障。

Railways going in right direction. Better facilities, faster travelling time at affordable prices. However continuance of unreserved coaches is a bad idea because it always leads to overcrowding. Better to increase ticket fares slightly and arrange reserved seats 4 abreast and 1 sleeper above.

铁路正朝着正确的方向发展。更好的设施，更短的旅行时间和更亲民的价格。然而，继续保留无预定车厢是一个坏主意，因为这总是会导致过度拥挤。最好稍微提高票价。

No travel should be non-ac, be it road or rail. introducing winter and rainy season ac-off coaches may compensate the fare.

无论是公路还是铁路出行，都要有空调，引入冬季和雨季的无空调车，可以弥补费用。

Anil Shah

With power drawn from over head contact wire, providing AC is not costly for capital as well as running cost, railway should aim for all train with AC , as all the metro trains are AC and people do not mind paying little extra for peaceful and confertable journey. .

电力来自上方的接触线，提供空调在资金和运营成本上都不昂贵，铁路公司应该设法在所有列车上提供空调，所有地铁都是有空调的，人们不介意为舒适的旅程多支付一点费用。

Unnecessary expenditure in a bid to wipe out the already exsiting trains.

the biggest problem the vande Bharat feels like a Chinese made as it has so many great features yet it's so lightly built and unsafe ....as I feel ...as it's not lhb .coaches Also it has huge problem when it rains heavily and storms ...

大的问题是，“致敬印度”号感觉像是中国制造的，有很多强大的功能，但却很轻，不安全，而且我觉得，遇到大雨和暴风雨的时候，会有很大的问题。
