Railway to replace conventional coaches for zero casualties in derailments

05 Sep 2022 CW Team

To ensure that there are zero casualties in case of derailment or head-on collisions between two trains on the same tracks, the railway has started working on a mission mode to replace all the existing rakes of conventional old coaches from the passenger trains with LHB (Link Hofmann Busch) coaches. The LHB coaches are now being manufactured with German technology and design to secure maximum safety and comfort for the passengers. The conventional coaches in the passenger trains on Indian Railway were used more than 40 years ago to meet the safety standards when the trains had a maximum running speed of 60 to 80 kmph. But now with an increase in speed up to 180kmph, the old conventional coaches are not safe and suitable.
