Thanks for sharing, I really am confused with IRCTC. In case of roadways we have started developing and we are slowly on our way to good high speed connectivity like Golden Quad. and even many national/state highways. Airway system is again undergoing a massive makeover like airport retailing etc but railways ???? Where are they going ? The primary problem is low speed tracks and bad railway traffic management system .First they should be addressing that problem then they should look at making better trains. The avg speed of Indian Railway is abysmal considering even other developing countries.Half the tracks shake when you cross 80-100Kmph. If they don't start addressing this slowly , we will reach a point wherein everyone will be forced to fly. TGV has done 560+ Its high time we do something for the time is calling for it.When economy is booming , infra is the most vital point to support the same and to top that all we have a corrupt Tatkal booking system in which you try logging in at 8 you can never and by the time you log in probably after 20 mins , you will be waiting list :). Really wish scientist find a way to fight the disease of corruption !

Are you sure it is the first one, because i always thought the Rajdhani had a few double decker coaches. Anyway it does look fab and am sure will prove to be a hit as long as the railways maintain it.

Popularity has two sides - No of ppl who use the facility and no of ppl who talk abt it... Volvo city buses and metros are very popular in that more ppl talk than use... Anyways Double decker AC trains is a very creative initiative.. Let's see how the introduction and implementation go by.. Thanks Amrita...

Thanks for Sharing Amrita... 
It is really a nice step taken by Indian Rail Govt.
But its success will depend on the "approachability" and "safety" towards Common Man!!!

nice and thanks for sharing but the question is , do we have tracks to sustain 160 km/hr speed.....HHHHHhhhhh

I'm not criticizing or playing a role of critic ts but this is a fact ,,,and the reason behind all this is a long, repeating, never ending, story of Corruption,,,

It's a good one, but safety measures are really a concern.....
