Mahamana Express skipps bandhua kalan at 110 kmph on its first run with innovative coaches which was made by the Carriage Rehabilitation Workshop Bhopal.
This train got named as "MAHANAMA" on behalf Late Madan Mohan Malaviya ji (1861–1946), The name Mahamana, is after social activist Madanmohan Malviya, co-founder of the Banaras Hindu University and popularly called Mahamana or a “great human being”. The name was chosen by Minister of State for Railways Manoj Sinha, an alumnus of the BHU.
Narendra Modi flagged off the 18-coach “Mahamana Express”, which will run at top speed of 110 kmph covering the distance of 774 kmph between Varanasi & Delhi thrice a week via Lucknow in 13 hours 50 mins.
About its coach:-
This project, to redesign the interiors of the passengers coaches in Indian Railways, was started in 2011. The Carriage Rehabilitation Workshop of the Railways in Bhopal has finalised the “model rake” which was converted into this train. Production of more such rakes is far away but at least this one train will boast of the new features for now.
Work of development of model rakes with enhanced amenities and improved interiors for Rs 31.5 cr will ultimate see 111 coaches ( 87 non AC coaches, 17 coaches for AC 3 tier, five for AC 2 tier and one each for AC 1 tier and chair car coaches) rolling out in 2016-17. Internally, they are also code-named “World Class interiors”
About 87 coaches are planned to be turned out in 2016-17 under the existing contract, which means about three trains. The rake on display is called a model rake because this is the design that will be replicated with changes and tweaks, if any. These are refurbished coaches, which means ordinary existing coaches have been taken and these changes made in them, which is the job of the workshop in Bhopal.Train passengers between the Capital and Varanasi, now better known as the Prime Minister’s constituency, will be the first to enjoy what is being touted as the first major upgrade in facilities and design in a passenger train in India.
Narendra Modi flagged off the 18-coach “Mahamana Express”, which will run at top speed covering the distance between the two cities thrice a week via Lucknow in 14 hours. The name Mahamana, is after social activist Madanmohan Malviya, co-founder of the Benaras Hindu University and popularly called Mahamana or a “great human being”. The name was chosen by Minister of State for Railways Manoj Sinha, an alumnus of the BHU.
For the refreshed interiors loaded with more ease of use, Railways has decided to charge 15 per cent more than the usual fare for Mahamana Express. The approval to jack up the fare for this train was received from the PMO before the flagging off was organised. Interestingly,
Much has been written about the improved facilities. This project, to redesign the interiors of the passengers coaches in Indian Railways, was started in 2011. The Carriage Rehabilitation Workshop of the Railways in Bhopal has finalised the “model rake” which was converted into this train. Production of more such rakes is far away but at least this one train will boast of the new features for now.Work of development of model rakes with enhanced amenities and improved interiors for Rs 31.5 cr will ultimate see 111 coaches ( 87 non AC coaches, 17 coaches for AC 3 tier, five for AC 2 tier and one each for AC 1 tier and chair car coaches) rolling out in 2016-17.
