Soon, train passengers travelling between Mumbai and Goa may be spoilt for choice: cuisine curated by celebrity chefs, tea and coffee vending machines and individual LCD screens.
Railways will unveil a new premier train service between Mumbai and Goa in June with state-of-the-art facilities.
The 20-coach Tejas Express will also have automatic doors and secured gangways for all coaches, a first for the Indian Railways.
Currently, automatic doors are operational in Metro trains only, while gangways, corridors between coaches, are not closed from the sides.
After the Mumbai-Goa run, the Tejas service, which was promised in the budget, is likely to be pressed on the Delhi- Chandigarh route.
Since Tejas will be a new premier class train, there will be many facilities including tea and coffee vending machines, magazines and snack tables, said a senior Railway Ministry official.
There will also be water level indicators in bio-vacuum toilets, sensors equipped taps, and hand dryers.
Besides choicest cuisine curated by celebrity chefs, there will be wi-fi facilities and toilet engagement boards.
The train's interior colour scheme will match the exterior to give the passengers a feel of world class travel.
