Bengaluru-Hassan Intercity Express' new rake. And also Kudla Express' (?).
-
Today I spotted 3 brand new rakes stabled at BYPL yard. 2 ICF rakes and 1 LHB rake.
-
1. One of them is...
more... for Bengaluru-Hassan Intercity Express via the new line as per news report
/news/post/294551. It had many Deen Dayalu coaches.
-
2. The 2nd ICF rake too had many Deen Dayalu coaches. Maybe for Kudla Express - the day train proposed between Bengaluru and Mangaluru via the new line.
-
3. The 3rd rake was a LHB one with sleeper and AC coaches. Maybe if Kudla Express is started as night train, they may use for it (?).
-
Most of the Deen Dayalu coaches had ECR markings - 2017 made. Some of them CR and NER - 2016 made. The LHB train had CR markings - 2016 made.
-
P.S.: Kudla is what Tuluvas call Mangaluru as, hence the name.
