Indian Railways' latest innovation, the 3AC economy coach, which is most likely to replace sleeper coaches in the future makes its appearance into Southern Railway for the first time with 02511 GKP KCVL Raptisagar tri weekly SF. A ticket from Chennai to Coimbatore in Raptisagar, (being a festival special train) cost Rs 1040 in 3E whereas in 3A its Rs 1100. Feel it's better to stick to 3A itself.
The new AC Economy coach has 83 berths as compared to 72 berths in 3AC Coach. Also, the fare structure for this coach is 8% lesser than 3AC Coach. Improved and modular design of seats and berths have been made to improve comfort, reduce weight of the coach and improve maintenance friendliness. Improved passenger conveniences has been ensured in form of foldable snack tables in both longitudinal and transverse bays, injury free spaces and holders for water bottles, mobile phone. Individual reading lights and USB charging points are provided for each berth. A new ergonomically improved design of ladder for accessing the middle and upper berths has been provided too. There is a increased headroom in the middle and upper berths. The toilet area has improved design of the Indian and the Western style lavatories.
