New Year begins with some 'cool' comfort on track for commuters. The new air-conditioned local train for Mumbai has incorporated several features suggested by commuters in their feedback for the first train. This includes wider gangways for more people to walk and stand comfortably in a crowd. We also have improved luggage racks.

This paper had an interview with the general of the coach factory in Chennai, responsible for assembling this train. He said that the train will be in the city this month itself.
