The coverage of Superfast Express Special trains taken on Independence Day can be read as follows; 1) Mighty KJM WDG-3A# 13249 superbly accelerates with 02695 Yesvantpur Jaipur Premium Express Special with great chugging sounds at Kelve Road. You can see the Loco Pilot waving to me. 2) 04825 Jodhpur Pune One Trip Special being pulled by a beautiful JHS WAG-7# 24667 skips Kelve Road on Independence Day afternoon. The rake consisted of majority of Southern Railway coaches. 3) 19568 Okha Tuticorin Vivek Express with a VTA WDM-3D# 11128 starts chugging and shortly with full blooded aggression 22913 Mumbai Central New Delhi Premium Express Special destroys Saphale at well above 115kph behind BRC WAP-5# 30069. The Vivek Express had slowed down since it was trailing Saurashtra Express. Linke Holfmann Busch (LHB) coaches are the passenger compartments of Indian Railways that have been developed by Linke Hofmann Busch of Germany . It was taken over by Alstom in 1998 and produced by Rail Coach Factory (RCF) in Kapurthala, India. They have been used since 2000 on the Indian Broad Gauge network of Indian railways. Initially, 24 air conditioned coaches were imported from Germany that would be used for the Shatabdi Expresses, after which the Rail Coach Factory started manufacturing after technology transfer. The coaches are designed for an operating speed up to 160 km/h and could go up to 200 km/h. However, they have been tested up to 180 kph. Their length of 23.54m and a width of 3.24m means a higher passenger capacity, compared to conventional rakes or Integral Coach Factory (ICF) rakes. They are considered to be "anti-telescopic", which means they do not get one into another or rides one on another when they gets involved in a collision (chiefly head-on). These coaches are made of stainless steel and the interiors are made of aluminium which make them lighter as compared to conventional rakes. Each coach also has an "advanced pneumatic disc brake system" for efficient braking at higher speeds, "modular interiors" that integrate lighting into ceiling and luggage racks with wider windows. The improved suspension system of LHB coaches ensures more riding comfort for the passengers compared to conventional rakes. The air conditioning system of the LHB coaches is of higher capacity compared to the older rakes and is controlled by a microprocessor which is said to give passengers better comfort than the older coaches during summer and winter seasons. They are relatively quieter as each coach can produce a maximum noise level of 60 decibels while conventional coaches can produce 100 decibels. Each LHB coach costs between Rs 15 million to 20 million, whereas the power car which houses a generator costs about 30 million. Not only premium fully AC trains like Rajdhani Express, Shatabdi Express and Duronto Express are getting Lhb rakes but many superfast trains (not fully AC trains) like Mahabodhi express, Poorva Express, Sampoorna Kranti Express are with LHB loads and may be by Diwali vacation even Karnavati Express will be given LHB rake. Premium Express trains in India are the first trains to have a dynamic train ticket pricing which is similar to airline booking system. Fare rises as seats become fewer.
