Indian Railways (IR) is taking several steps to ensure comfortable journeys for general-class passengers. As part of its commitment to providing better services and accommodating increasing passenger demands, IR has planned to introduce over 1,000 new GS (general seating) coaches to nearly 370 regular trains by November 2024. This initiative will enable approximately 1 lakh additional passengers to travel in GS coaches daily, demonstrating the Railways’ focus on inclusivity and convenience.
The Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) is also playing a vital role in this initiative, contributing to Indian Railways’ success. Currently, NFR has already augmented 36 trains/69 rakes with 276 GS coaches, providing greater convenience and accessibility to passengers across and beyond its zone. Furthermore, NFR plans to augment three additional trains with 16 more GS coaches by the end of December 2024. These efforts underline NFR’s dedication to improving passenger services and making train journeys more comfortable and inclusive for all segments of society.
