LHB rakes
there are so many advantages with these type of Rakes but I want to point out some of my observations
1. In completely electrified root also they need two DIESEL EOGs. Since Diesel is exhausting fuel converting Diesel routes into electrified routes but again the same old system. Very hard to work for people and even hard to work for Guard also.
2....
more... CBC coupled - because of this Jerks especially during night time it won't be good though it has advantage.
3. Very noisy when the breaks are applied/ when the train is getting slow down/ Reducing the speed.
4. To accommodate more berths compared to conventional ICF coaches slightly reduced the length of the side berths and width of the cabin berths. Even the people who are in normal height cannot able to sleep in the side berths earlier sleeper coaches were like this. They will add extra berth at the end of the each compartment and one extra seat. Currently Central Railways holds these type of the coaches.
5. There is an effect on the number of General classes since the number of train coaches should not be more than 22 as because of the platform constraints.
