Over a year after making their debut in Mumbai, the glass-roofed Vista Dome coaches might descend on the scenic ghats of Khandala and Igatpuri next year. IRCTC has suggested two key routes, CSMT-Pune and CSMT-Manmad, for running these trains on Central Railway (CR).

The trains are expected to be up and running before March 31, 2019. On CR, the train currently runs on the Goa route, where it has been quite a hit, with tickets going at Rs 2,235 for the whole journey. The fare of the new trains will be comparable to that of the executive class coaches. Tourists would be able to take in the lush green mountain views in the comfort of their seat through the glass-domed roof and side windows.
