After Jaipur, Northern Railway started a Delhi - Lucknow double decker train from Sunday. The inaugural run of the train was flagged off by Union home minister Rajnath Singh on April 26th at Anand Vihar. The regular run starts from May 1st. According to a senior Northern Railway official, for the convenience of passengers, the railway has decided to introduce Air-Conditioned Super-Fast Double Decker bi-weekly express train between Anand Vihar terminal and Lucknow junction. After the inaugural run, the regular run of the double-decker bi-weekly express train will start between Anand Vihar and Lucknow Junction twice a week on Fridays and Sundays from both directions from May 1st. The train is having 12 AC chair-car coaches. The 12584 Anand Vihar-Lucknow train will depart from Anand Vihar Terminal at 2.10 pm to reach Lucknow at 10.50 pm the same day and In the return direction, the 12583 Lucknow Junction-Anand Vihar Terminal train will depart from Lucknow at 5 am to reach Anand Vihar Terminal at 1 pm the same day. The double-decker AC trains will stop for two to five minutes at Ghaziabad, Moradabad and Bareilly stations on the way in both directions. In August 2012, the first double-decker air-conditioned train from the national capital’s Sarai Rohilla station to Jaipur was flagged off by then railway minister Mukul Roy. ( Video Link [ Ссылка ] ) Railway officials said that designing the double-decker coaches was a huge challenge as the entire rail network and coaches were designed to meet precise standard dimensions in length, breadth and height of the railway structures like bridges and tunnels. The double-decker coaches can accommodate 120 passengers against the carrying capacity of 78 passengers in the existing chair cars of Shatabdi trains.
