Will the Double Decker Train be Inaugurated on March 31st?


 
 
 
The inaugural of India’s first double decker train is doubtful as technical problems seem to plague it. The train was to start plying on 31st March from Chennai to Bangalore. According to the schedule listed by Southern Railway the train will leave Chennai at 7.25am and reach Bangalore at 1.30pm.

According to some officials, the lack of staff is the reason behind the delay, but others blame technical issues. ‘During the trial run, it came to our notice that the double-decker rake is coming in contact with a platform at the Jolarpet Junction railway station. Thereafter, the Southern Railway and South Western Railways sent their reports to Railway Design & Standards Organisation (RDSO)’, say officials.
