Indian Railways Dehradun Shatabdi Express Train Upgraded. Check PICTURES Here

Indian Railways has upgraded the Dehradun Shatabdi Express, said Northern Railways on microblogging website Twitter. The Northern Railways, which caters to one of the zones served by Indian Railways, said the Dehradun Shatabdi Express was upgraded to a "gold standard". The government had last year announced upgradation of 14 Rajdhani and 15 Shatabdi trains, under Project Swarna (Gold). Under the project, improved passenger experience on Rajdhani and Shatabdi trains has been planned in 10 dimensions. These were coach interiors, toilets, onboard cleanliness, catering, linen, staff behaviour, security, onboard entertainment and real time feedback. Now, the Delhi Division has the highest number of gold standard rakes on any division on Indian Railways, according to Northern Railways.

Under Project Swarna, zonal railways have been given a free hand to develop and innovate to create aesthetic and passenger friendly coach interiors on running rakes to establish new standards in passengers comfort, according to a railways press release. A target budget of Rs. 50 lakh per rake has been allowed for this purpose.

Earlier, in April this year the Amritsar-bound Shatabdi train was given a face-lift under Project Swarna. The first revamped rake of Rajdhani under the project was of Sealdah Rajdhani (12314 New Delhi-Sealdah) which was launched on November 29, 2017 from New Delhi.
