Railways can run a customised version of AC Vande Metro trains as AC locals if Mumbaikars agree to it, Minister of Railways Ashwini Vaishnaw said on Sunday when asked about the status of AC locals in the city.

Speaking to the media on the sidelines of a visit to the world’s tallest railway bridge at Chenab in the Kashmir valley, Vaishnaw said, “We will replace AC locals if Mumbaikars allow us to do so, but there is no consensus yet on AC locals among citizens.”
