Coming October-end, Indian Railways' new upgraded train for common man

10月底，印度铁路公司将推出面向普通人的新升级列车

Indian Railways’ latest project - an upgraded train for the common man - will soon be ready for trials. The new train with upgraded second class 3-tier sleeper coaches and second class unreserved coaches, is being manufactured at the Integral Coach Factory (ICF) in Chennai. The new train, the name for which is yet to be decided, will have some Vande Bharat Express-style features.

印度铁路公司的最新项目——为普通人设计的升级版列车——将很快投入试运行。新列车配备升级的二等3层卧铺车厢和二等无预留车厢，目前正在金奈的ICF工厂生产。新列车的名称尚未确定，它将具有“致敬印度”号特快列车的风格特征。

The 22 coach train will have 8 General Second Class coaches, 12 non-AC sleeper cars and 2 luggage-cum-guard vans. The new train will have superior interiors for enhanced safety and passenger comforts, gangways, semi-permanent couplers, destination boards among other features.

22节车厢的列车将有8节普通二等车厢、12节非空调卧铺车厢和2节行李和警卫车厢。新列车将拥有优质的内饰，以提高安全性和乘客舒适度，半永久性耦合器，指路牌等。

Importantly, to attain higher speed for more efficient operation, the train will operate on the push-pull method of Indian Railways using two locomotives, one at each end of the train. For the new train two WAP5 locomotives with aerodynamic design are being made by Chittaranjan Locomotive Works (CLW). In contrast, Vande Bharat Express is a self-propelled train set.

重要的是，为了达到更高的速度和更有效的运行，这列火车将采用印度铁路公司的推挽方式运行，使用两台机车，两端各一台。采用空气动力学设计的WAP5机车正在由Chittaranjan机车工厂(CLW)制造。相比之下，“致敬印度”号特快列车是动车组。

According to ICF General Manager BG Mallya, the work on the train is progressing well. The push-pull upgraded sleeper train is expected to be ready at the ICF end by middle of October. “Once the WAP5 locomotives are received from CLW, we will be able to test the train. The expectation is that that new train will be ready for trials by October end,” BG Mallya told TOI.

据ICF总经理BG Mallya说，列车的制造进展顺利。卧铺列车预计将于10月中旬准备就绪。“一旦从Chittaranjan机车工厂接收到WAP5型机车，我们将能够对列车进行测试。预计新列车将在10月底前准备好进行试运行。”

Indian Railways has been projecting Vande Bharat Express trains as the face of new age world-class travel. A new train for the common man with features of Vande Bharat may be a step up from the exsting Antyodaya trains as well.

印度铁路公司一直将“致敬印度”号特快列车作为新时代世界级旅行的代表。一列为普通人设计的新列车，具有“致敬印度”号的特点，与现有的安约达亚列车相比，也是一个进步。

Long distance trains should run with reserved Berths and Seats. The scope to allow unreserved travel is the seed to indiscipline and chaos. Let the reservation charges be low for non AC class. Short distance trains can run without reservation.

长途列车应该规定必须预定铺位和座位，允许不预定出行会导致无纪律和混乱。非空调车厢的预订费用要低一些，短途列车可以不用预定。

问题不在于火车标准，自2014年以来，火车标准已经显著改善。乘客必须规范行为，比如保持厕所清洁。

所有人都说厕所最令乘客难受的。进入厕所是一个挑战，大多数时候都是停水状态。希望厕所问题得到解决。

无论是谁设计座位，都应该自己先在他们设计的座位上坐12个小时，睡12个小时，体验一下舒适度……

You mean to say 2nd class bench seats of the old trains were better?...

你的意思是说旧火车的二等座更好?

Trains could be equipped with alarm system and even auto-brakes for collisions, like aircraft TCAS. should there be a derailment or some accident or any track blockage -- this system can easily broadcast a danger signal on a local frequency, stop approaching trains and giving an alarm to several station in the vicinity. This would stop a lot of disasters.

火车可以配备报警系统，甚至可以像飞机的TCAS一样，在碰撞时自动刹车。如果发生脱轨或任何轨道堵塞事故等，这个系统可以广播危险信号，向驶近的火车发出警告，并向附近的几个车站发出警报。这将阻止许多灾难的发生。

There is already a better system called Kavach. Contention was that that system was not implemented on the route of Balasore accident...

已经有一个更好的系统，叫做Kavach。争论的焦点是，在巴拉索尔事故路线上没有安装这个系统…

Best example of the Railway Time table is Paschim Express departure from New Delhi 16:30 hr arrival Mumbai Central 14:55 hr next day. By the way Paschim Express is a super fast train with LHB coaches and the same Engine configuration that pulls the Mumbai Rajdhani. Rajdhani starts at 16:55 and reaches Mumbai Central at 8:35 the next day. Paschim Express is slower by 7 hours. why? The railway wants to run the train faster, it's their wish.

遵守铁路时刻表的最佳例子是帕西姆特快，16:30从新德里出发，第二天14:55到达孟买中心。顺便说一下，帕西姆特快是一列超高速列车，配备LHB车厢，引擎配置与孟买Rajdhani特快相同。Rajdhani于16:55出发，第二天8:35到达孟买中心。帕西姆特快慢7个小时。为什么？铁路公司想要火车跑得更快，这是他们的愿望。

Instead of VB N Common man VB, spend money on quadrupling of railway lines, so exsting trains run at better average speeds. Even the fastest Rajdhani, Mumbai Delhi Rajdhani can reach its destination two hours before its scheduled time with its exsting locomotive. Vande Bharat saves time because railway what's it to. Except for one route most of the VB don't even touch 160 km/hr. On some routes VB runs at 80 km/hr. On such routes how is VB going to save time. Already congestion routes will be m ... Read More

不如把钱花在升级铁路上，升级为四线，让现有的火车以更高的平均速度运行。即使是最快的Rajdhani特快，孟买-德里Rajdhani用现有的火车头也可以提前两小时到达目的地。“致敬印度”号节省时间是因为铁路公司。除了一条路线外，大多数“致敬印度”号甚至达不到160公里/小时，在一些线路上，甚至以80公里/小时的速度运行。在这样的路线上，如何节省时间?

Improving speed and improving efficiencies improves throughput on tracks without having to add tracks for bandwidth..

提高速度和效率可以提高铁路吞吐量，而不必增加轨道

wastage of money. this should be used to run better trains like VB. are we creating thse for illegal ticketless travellers?

浪费钱。这些钱应该用来运行更好的列车，比如“致敬印度”号。推出这种列车，我们是为了方便非法无票出行者吗?

avg speed is 70 to 80 km for VB and we say it is new age, even lowly indonesia has better hsr trains. avg speed should be above 100 to 150 for a spread like india. sooner bullet trains arrive better.

“致敬印度”号的平均时速是70到80公里，我们说这是迈入了新时代，即使是落后的印度尼西亚也有更好的高铁。像印度这样的国家，平均列车速度应该超过100-150。高铁越早建成越好。

Indonesia adopted a market economy in 70s , we are still socialist. Why compare??

印度尼西亚在70年代采用了市场经济，我们仍然是社 会主义，为什么拿二者比较? ?

We should forget the bullet train. IR cannot run it effectively. Already VB trains not able to maintain speed of 130 km/hr.

忘了高铁吧，印度铁路公司不能有效运行。“致敬印度”号列车无法保持130公里/小时的速度。

the Vande Bharat train on the Mumbai Goa route is a disgrace to Indian Railways as it is spoiling the train efficiency of all trains on that route. it is always late and all trains are made to wait for it to pass.

孟买-果阿路线上的“致敬印度”号列车是印度铁路的耻辱，因为它降低了该路线上所有列车的效率。它总是晚点，所有的火车都要等它过去。
