Passengers traveling between Ahmedabad and Mumbai will soon have more seating options on the Shatabdi Express. From March 31, Western Railway will permanently add an extra AC Chair Car coach to meet the rising demand.
The Mumbai Central-Ahmedabad Shatabdi Express, covering around 490 km in under seven hours, is one of the busiest trains on this route. Despite its premium fare, it remains a preferred choice for its speed, punctuality, and onboard services like meals and comfortable seating.
The train currently has Executive and AC Chair Car coaches, but getting a confirmed ticket is tough, especially on weekends and holidays. The extra coach will help by adding over 65,000 seats annually.
