So what is in the RDSO's revised specification. Some good improvements have been incorporated

1. All coaches in train set will be chair car type for day travel.

2. These train sets will be procured in multiples of basic Units of four coaches each which can be attached or detached from the train as per requirement. This will improve reliability and operational efficiency as it will be possible to replace basic units in case of defects, or augment the train length up to 24 coaches due to increased demand. The present train sets do not have this feature. As a result, the entire train set is rendered ineffective in case of any defect in a coach.
3. All the train sets will be provided with cab AC in DTCs , above roof HT equipment, 25 KV Roof through HT cable assembly with associated accessories like insulators, jumper cables etc.
4. These light weight energy efficient train sets will have a ride index of less than 3.5 against the earlier value of less than 4, which will improve passenger comfort even for longer journeys.
5. These optimized train sets will also be suitable for operations in Jammu and Kashmir and the electrics will be tested for continuous operations at 160 kmph.

6. These train sets to reach the top speed of 160 kmph in maximum 140 seconds.
The new train sets will provide an actual saving of 20 per cent in journey time and all equipment should be suitable for flooding conditions.
7. Train set to be provided with explosion proof, light weight lithium-iron-phosphate batteries to provide back up for duration of 3 hours,.

8. State of the art aluminium body roof mounted packaged unit (RMPU) type air-conditioning units with thermal comfort based Microprocessor controller.

9. The peak efficiency of propulsion system of these train sets will not be less than 87 per cent which provides for a more robust, efficient and reliable system.
I am an avid traveler, like to see places of interest - Historic, Natural Beauty, Hindu Pilgrimage sites, UNESCO World Heritage Sites, popular tourist destinations. I capture what I am fascinated with and I also capture my journey by train, Rail Road, Ship, Air. I am fascinated by the uniqueness and diversity of the different modes of transportation.

Automatic plug doors with retractable footsteps, automatic intercommunication door, in-coach displays, speakers, side destination boards, luggage racks with reading lamps, direct lighting and diffused lighting (for luggage racks), continuous LED light fixtures, modular pantry equipment and GPS antenna in all coaches.

Mobile/laptop charging sockets in the passenger seats, CCTVs and Emergency talk back units with networking system in all coaches.

My Camera Gear - I use different Cameras for different purposes. My TOP Camera for long Zoom and some fascinating 4K stuff it is Panasonic FZ 300. Canon G7X MKII is my ideal choice for wonderful Video logging and some night photos. For catching actions, scenes on the go, and some hard stuff to catch using normal camers I use GoPro - GoPro Session 5 and GoPro Hero Black. For on the spot, on the Go and unanticipated and unexpected catches I use my new iPhone XR / OnePlus 6.
