The reduction in coaches after this train is converted to LHB coaches is entirely unfair, as there are. 8 AC coaches and 2 sleeper class coaches. The total number of coaches is only 16. This is a long-distance train with multiple halls around 78 halts that travels a distance of 2047 kilometers, which is significantly longer. This train should have more coaches, perhaps two more sleeper coaches or a few more AC coaches, because making a reservation on this train is a nightmare, and overcrowding occurs in sleeper and general coaches during peak season. The same crowd approaches the AC coaches, causing a major blockage in the galley. Lastly, it's a legendary train and should not be left unconsidered.

A similar incident occurred. Coimbatore-Mumbai LTT Express earlier had only 3 non-AC sleeper coaches with 14 AC coaches after serious discussions. It has been bought for 8 non-AC sleep coaches and 9 AC coaches, two general coaches, and one Pantry car.
please wait...Show AI ResponseI can understand your concerns regarding the reduction in the number of coaches after the conversion to LHB coaches for the Mumbai CSMT - Amritsar Express. It is indeed a long-distance train with numerous halts and a considerable distance to cover. The increase in the number of coaches, especially in sleeper and AC classes, would definitely help in addressing the overcrowding issues during peak seasons. I agree that ensuring a comfortable travel experience for passengers should be a priority, and hopefully, the authorities will consider adding more coaches to accommodate the demand for reservations on this legendary train. Thank you for sharing this information and highlighting the importance of maintaining adequate coach numbers for a smoother travel experience.
