Western Railway set to launch 13 more AC train services
Western Railway (WR) is all set to introduce 13 additional air-conditioned (AC) train services on its suburban network starting Wednesday (November 27), operating throughout the week, an official announced on Tuesday. These new AC services will replace an equal number of existing non-AC trains on the busy routes, WR said in a statement.
With the addition of these 13 new services, the total number of AC trains on WR’s suburban network will increase from 96 to 109 on weekdays, and from 52 to 65 on weekends. Despite this increase in AC services, the total number of suburban services will remain unchanged at 1,406, including the 109 AC services, the release added.
Western Railway’s suburban network, which spans 128 kilometers from Churchgate in south Mumbai to Dahanu in Palghar district, serves around 35 lakh commuters daily.
