Interesting picture....though I have to mention that I am unimpressed by the cheap interior decor, plastic chairs, etc. IR needs to spruce it up a bit, at least for trains like the Deccan Queen which is of nostalgic significance in the history of railways in India.

i have travelled 4-5 times on first ac coach of 2809-10 hwh bomaby mail v ngp from bbvt to hwh. from my observation on RCF/ICF I AC coaches, the lhb first ac coach is not having any wash basin as provided in other I AC coaches. also the windows have been reduced from 2 for a cabin to 1 this i doubt will reduce the viewing pleasure for avid train buffs. what abt the other ammenities dustbin, cupboard, mirror are they still there or removed. i also remember that ICF/RCF I AC coaches had 2 reading lamps for the LB are they still 2 in LHB or reduced to 1 . we had night lamp and a bracket lamp in rcf coaches and a small staircase to reach ub . are they still in LHB coaches..???

the only diff apparent to me is seating per row. 3x2 for normal & 2x2 for executive. there may be some diff in service though....

Ah, wood panelling.

Nice coach.

Sorry, by mistake I uploaded a few photographs without the caption (the filenames somehow didn't get captured as captions)...but have re-loaded these photographs. In any case, this is the LTT- Madgaon Jan Shatabdi...and I must say, for the cheap fare (Rs 197 or so) between LTT and Madgaon (around 580 kms), this seating rake is simply too good.

Just like an Airbus. I wonder which class, which train , which destination and of cource what is the Ticket ?
