Indian Railways under the leadership of Suresh Prabhu has excelled very well and soon we will be seeing bullet trains running on the tracks in India.
The first bullet train of E5 Shinkansen series will run on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad high speed corridor and it will be a completely new experience for the passengers as these coaches will be having changing rooms for the babies too with low sinks for hand washing, tables for disposing diaper and toilet seats designed for babies.
The toilet systems will be of absolutely new type as the hot water and washing closet seat facility will be available with urinals and western style toilets. These trains will have separate washrooms for men and women and they will be equipped with triple mirrors for the purpose of make-up.
Approximately Rs. 5,000 crore is the amount that the Modi government is going to spend for buying 25 E5 Shinkansen series bullet trains from Japan. These bullet trains will comprise of 10 coaches and will have the capacity of 731 passengers. They will also have rooms for multi-purpose which can be used by sick passengers or for breast feeding. Other than this, there will be two more spacious toilets for passengers who are wheelchair-bound. For the first time, wall-mounted urinals will be available for men, as told by a senior official who is associated with the Rs 1 lakh crore bullet train program.
However, not every coach will have urinals and toilets. These urinals and toilets will be set up in alternate coaches; for example, if the urinals are set up in 1,3,5,7 and 9, the toilets will be set up in 2,4,6 and 8 and the same goes for men and women washrooms.
There will be two classes – standard and business; the standard class will have 698 seats while 55 seats will be reserved for business. Business class travelers will also get the luggage space.
The distance of 508 km between Mumbai and Ahmedabad will be covered by a bullet train in 2 hrs & 7 minutes.
