Look at those fans they seem to be relics from bygone era. Whole design reeks Govt mentality. They should bring in outside experts to design the coaches ( incl. safety measures).
The coach factory needs to be completely overhauled or closed down. The coach looks like a one person build it in his backyard. Within a months it will come apart and needs to be condemned. Pity the poor african countries that take these. Not that they pay hard cash for these. These are given as aid or sold as part of some other deals.

Last time i checked Senegal is a third world country where sturdiness counts more then aesthetics. At least they are exporting something your country Pakistan does not export anything except terrorism.

Yes, he can afford to. You bh1kaari b.a.a.p can't afford a c.h.a.v.a.n.i. mdrch0d! Raj Thackersey
not bad but the chairs look quite old design. they should just keep bringing in the best designers so can improve .
indian railways are actually a precious asset . if run properly it would be a huge income and image booster for country. but its run very shoddy. Get Taj Group to be consultants for Indian Railways. it needs a 5 star touch.

Dev, an ordinary person can also tell that chairs are old. Do u think our designers dont know this? defenetly yes they knows about it, but the matter is the cost.if the client is ready to pay more they will get more comfortable product.
