Now, jerk-free ride in Rajdhani Express, Shatabdi Express
The premium trains fitted with modern couplers will ensure that there is no gap between coaches, that usually results in jerky movements
In its constant endeavour to provide a quality journey to passengers, Indian Railways is making sure that the travellers can now get jerk-free riding experience.
Under Mission Transformation, initiated by the Indian Railways, all the LHB (Linke Hofmann Busch) coaches in Shatabdi Express and Rajdhani Express trains will offer a jerk-free journey to passengers as they have been now fitted with new age coupler.
The premium trains fitted with modern couplers will ensure that there is no gap between coaches, that usually results in jerky movements.
Railways have added an additional shrimp in the coupler between the coaches that mitigate the gap between them and also reduces jerk.
Under Mission Transformation, over 12000 LHB coaches have been fitted with this with modern couplers.
Railways has been able to fit these new couplers in over 5000 trains in just six to seven months and the national transporter aims to install the modern technique in all the trains in the country soon.
