Indian Railways has announced a significant change in the coach composition of Bhagalpur-LTT and Godda-LTT Express trains. This move is designed to help general category passengers who are struggling with heavy crowds during the peak summer season. By adjusting the number of coaches, the railways aim to make the journey easier for those traveling in unreserved compartments.
What are the changes in the coach composition of these trains?
The railway authorities have decided to increase the capacity of general coaches in these two important trains. In the Bhagalpur-LTT Express, two sleeper class coaches will be removed to make room for more general category accommodation. Similarly, the Godda-LTT Express will see an increase in its general coach count to help passengers traveling without prior reservations. This adjustment is a direct response to the growing demand and crowding seen in the general category during summer.
Implementation dates for the new coach arrangement
The new coach structure will be implemented on different dates for both trains to ensure a smooth transition for the passengers. The schedule for the update is as follows:
- Godda-LTT Express: The new arrangement will be effective from June 21
- Bhagalpur-LTT Express: The updated coach configuration will start from June 23
This step by the Indian Railways is expected to provide much-needed relief to common travelers dealing with intense heat and over-crowding. The decision will allow more passengers to travel in the general class with relatively more space and comfort.
