The Indian Railways is adding unreserved coaches to its superfast trains to provide better facilities for passengers. This initiative began with the addition of two coaches each to the Sri Ganganagar-Delhi Intercity and Jaipur-Delhi-Bathinda Sainik Express. This has made a difference in passenger comfort, with more available seats and easier travel....

The railway authorities have proposed to expand this initiative to all superfast trains, pending approval. The need for this change was driven by the high demand for unreserved seats on routes like Delhi-Bathinda, where multiple superfast trains run daily, carrying a large number of commuters from Haryana and Punjab. The move is particularly beneficial to daily travelers and those who use these trains for business purposes. The addition of two unreserved coaches to the Sri Ganganagar-Delhi Intercity (12481-82) and one third AC and one reserved coach to the Delhi Cantt-Bathinda superfast train (20409-10) have made a noticeable impact, with passengers experiencing less crowding, especially on the Sri Ganganagar Intercity. The Dibrugarh-Lalgadh Avadh-Assam train, which also travels on the Delhi-Bathinda route, has seen a decrease in both reserved and unreserved coaches, causing overcrowding and discomfort for passengers, especially during peak seasons.
