PUNE: The refurbished Deccan Queen — replete with German technology-based lightweight and high-capacity Linke Hoffman Busch (LHB) rakes and a revamped dining car — is expected to be operational next month onwards, sources in the Central Railway (CR) said.
“As per our information, the coaches, earlier being manufactured by the Integral Coach Factory (ICF), are almost ready. We will be getting possession of the same by the end of February. We expect to roll out the train from March. With the new coaches, passengers will get better facilities. There will be no changes in fares,” a senior CR official told TOI.
