[ Ссылка ]
This is the video of Air Conditioned EMU Local train doing a trial run on Mumbai's Western Railway. It was a big surprise for me seeing this train coming and hence I could not prepare myself to capture this.
One good thing about this train is that it has vestibules which connect all the coaches just like our long distance trains. Even Mumbai Metro coaches have vestibule which means people can move from one coach to another inside the train.
Position of motor coaches in this train are 1 (first),6,7,12 )last).
In all probability, this may be the new year gift by railways to Mumbai. Proposed fare structure if approved then it will cost Rs.10 for 5km and 60km of Churchgate-Virar will cost Rs.85. In comparison, First Class ticket between Churchgate-Virar cost Rs.170.
When we look at the fare structure of long-distance intercity trains, fare system on Indian Railways has been traditionally lower for AC Chair car compared to Non-AC First Class. (Non-AC FC is now in hardly few trains).
