North Central Railway has always been making efforts to ensure better services for its esteemed customers. Keeping this in view, the General Manager North Central Railway Shri Rajiv Choudhry made special efforts for the availability of 'Sleeper class coaches in Humsafar Express'. As a result of these efforts of the General Manager & for the convenience of the people of Prayagraj, Railway Board agreed to the proposal of attaching sleeper coaches in Humsafar Express in less than 24 hours despite there was no policy to do so at present.

Now Train no 12275/76 Allahabad - New Delhi Humsafar Express (4 days a week) and Train no.22437/38 Allahabad - Anand Vihar Terminal Humsafar Express (3 days a week) has been provided with 4 additional sleeper coaches in the current composition of 2 power cars and 18 air-conditioned three tier coaches. This will benefit about 320 passengers traveling in the sleeper o­n daily basis.The changed composition is as follows: -

 Note: The above revised composition for these trains Journey Commencing o­n ex Allahabad from 23.10.19 to 30.10.19 and Journey Commencing o­n ex New Delhi/Anand Vihar Term. from 24.10.19 to 31.10.19 will beas under –

GENERATOR CAR-02 + 3 TIER AC-18 + SLEEPER -04 = 22 coach (LHB)

During this period Allahabad-Anand Vihar Special train will be run with sleeper coaches to compensate these two sleeper coaches.

Besides this, it is also pertinent to mention that this train will operate at a maximum speed of 130 km per hour instead of the maximum speed of 120 km per hour of Duronto Express running now. This will provide more berths for passengers, along with saving of time through higher speed, as well as the full LHB coaches of Humsafar Express are more comfortable, advanced and safer than the hybrid coaches of Duronto.

 In order to clear the extra rush of passengers, Northern Railway has decided to run the 09631/09632Madar -Beas- Madar& 04833/04834Bhagat Ki Kothi-Beas-Bhagat ki Kothi special Trainsas per the following programme:
