Mumbaikars, there's more 'cool' comfort on track for you. The new air-conditioned local train for Mumbai, that was unveiled on Friday, has incorporated several features as suggested by local commuters in their feedback for the first train. This includes wider gangways for more people to walk and stand comfortably in a crowd, improved luggage racks and much more.

Sudhanshu Mani, general manager of Integral Coach Factory (ICF) in Chennai, in an interview with mid-day, said the new AC local that will be here in January, also has a talk back mechanism, a first for local trains, wherein commuters can contact the train guard in an emergency. He also said with the underslung motor equipment, the train will be able to run at slow speeds even during flooding.
