Like Mumbai To Goa was the longest train journey one could be in (obviously not), the passengers will now also be spoilt for choices: cuisines curated by celebrity chefs, tea and coffee vending machines and individual LCD screens. Yes, you read that right!

Railways will unveil a new premier train service between Mumbai and Goa in June with state-of-the-art facilities, called the Tejas Express. Comprising executive class and chair cars, Tejas coaches will be equipped with 22 new features, including fire and smoke detection and suppression systems and the improved aesthetics.

A very first for the Indian railways, 20 coach Tejas express will have automatic doors and secured gangways for all coaches. Currently automatic doors are only operational in metros; guess it’s a good time to be alive to experience the change.

After the Mumbai-Goa run, the Tejas service, which was promised in the budget, is likely to be pressed on the Delhi-Chandigarh route. Well, short routes are the first strategy to cover Indian Railways, isn’t it?

Since Tejas will be a new premier class train, there will be facilities like 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, sensorized taps, and hand driers. Besides choicest cuisine curated by celebrity chefs, there will also 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. Fancy much?

The aim is to provide comfort to passengers in the inter-city journeys, the official said. Well what do you think about this comfort though?
