Railways has allotted a fifth LHB (Linke-Hofmann-Busch) coach rake for Train No 12617 /12618 Ernakulam Jn-Hazrat Nizamuddin-Ernakulam Jn Mangala Superfast Express services.
A release from Southern Railway here said that the Railways has already notified that Train No 12617 Ernakulam Jn-Hazrat Nizamuddin Mangala Express will run with LHB rakes from Ernakulam Jn on Sundays, Mondays, Saturdays and Fridays starting on different dates in December 2021. Similarly, Train No 12618 Hazrat Nizamuddin-Ernakulam Jn Mangala Express was notified for running with LHB rakes from Hazrat Nizamuddin on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Tuesdays and Mondays starting on different dates in December and January.
With the allotment of the fifth rake, Train No 12617 will run with LHB coaches from Ernakulam from February 2 (Thursday) and Train No 12618 from Hazrat Nizamuddin from February 6 (Sunday).
The tender documents specify that these buses will undergo a trial run first. A technical committee will evaluate the performance of the buses within a month. If the performance is satisfactory, delivery of the remaining coaches will be approved. If not, KSRTC reserves the right to cancel the remaining order without compensation.
The T.N. State Transport and Road Safety Commissionerate has directed transport officials to impound any vehicles including omni buses that are registered outside the State and are being operated as unauthorised stage carriers. The move comes in the wake of the department extending the deadline several times to re-register vehicles that are registered outside the State, with local Regional Transport Offices (RTOs).
