Rajdhani Express and Rajdhani Express and Shatabdi Express would soon sport a designer look. Indian Railways have engaged National Institute of Design (NID) to spice up the upholstery and coach interiors of the two high-end trains. Northern Railways are getting ready to run the trains with a new look from next week.
“Indian Railways is undergoing an image transformation. In its maiden attempt, it has decided to give these trains a ‘corporate look’,” a senior Rail Bhawan official said.
NID is also designing trains for Mumbai suburban services. “The age-old design of bed linen would also be replaced. After boarding the train, passengers would have an experience of five-star ambience around them, contrary to what they have had so far on these trains. We would also stress on improved ventilation and better illumination,” the official added.
