T-18 with fares 40-50% higher than Shatabdi


The new train has a number of feature to enhance passenger comfort which includes inter-connection fully-sealed gangways, automatic doors with retractable footsteps, onboard Wi-Fi and infotainment, GPS-based passenger information system, rotational seats which can be aligned in the direction of travel(available only in the Executive Class) roller blinds and diffused LED lighting and disabled-friendly toilets.


T-18 , which runs on electric traction like Metro trains, will start replacing the Shatabdi  Express fleet from next year, the officials said.
The train-18 built by the Integral Coach Factory (ICF) in Chennai, has undergone extensive trains under the supervision of Research designs and Standards Organisation ( RDSO) ,Lucknow. It has successfully complicated trials up to a speed of 180 km/h. The train is capable of touching a maximum speed of 200 km/h.


The Executive class fare would be between Rs 2,800 and Rs 2,900 while that of the chair car would be between Rs 1600 and 1700.

Hinting at the fare of the train, the officials said that it will be almost 40-50% higher than the Executive and chair class fares of the Shatabdi Express trains.


Earlier this month, Railway Minister Piyush Goyal had said that the Train-18 will run between New Delhi and Varanasi and it will cover the 755 km distance in eight hours with stoppages at Kanpur and Prayagraj. It will be the fastest train on the route. The current fastest train takes around 11.30 hours to complete the journey.


Officials said they have approached Prime Minister’s Office (PMO)  seeking time for the launch by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, which is likely after the presentation of the budget. The first train is slated to run between New Delhi and Varanasi, the Prime Minister’s Lok sabha constituency.
 They said that the engine less train-18, whose traction equipment is mounted below the bogies, got the final clearance of the Electrical Inspector to the Government (EIG)  on Thursday and “ thus we have approached the PMO seeking time for the inaugural run of the train on the New Delhi-Varanasi route”.
