Western Railway now has three air-conditioned local trains in its kitty, including the two that were brought in earlier this year. It will introduce one of the two new trains in June when the existing AC train will be sent for overdue maintenance. The third train will be introduced in December after extensive trials.

Meanwhile, Central Railway will receive its first AC local train in July 2019. A senior official said the second train from Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) will be introduced in June after technical changes that the WR has asked for.
