The Central Railway is all set to upgrade its popular Mumbai-Pune Deccan Queen train and in a first, wants commuters' opinion on the changes they would like. An online survey form is asking them seven pointed questions over the train's features.

Lessons from the past
In 2018, when the Central Railway had upgraded the Mumbai-Manmad Panchavati Express, many commuters had protested saying that the new features made it uncomfortable and had shot letters to the local MP and railway authorities seeking restoration of old coaches. The Central Railway had then yet again modified the coaches. Similar complaints had come up when the Mumbai-Pune Pragati Express was upgraded as an Utkrisht train.
