Glass Bodied Train In India

Implementing innovative ideas is the key factor in boosting up tourism. Tourism Ministry has come up with a very distinctive idea of offering glass bodied trains for tourists so that they can experience 180 degree view of the scenery. The train will be running between Vishakhapatnam and Araku with initial two coaches.

The Government is also planning to take the glass bodied train to the Valleys of Kashmir between Baramulla and Qazigund. Target is to introduce these trains in high tourist footfall areas. 

The tourism ministry would be paying Rs 4 Crore to IRCTC to provide the coaches. As far as rates are concerned, it would be 5% upwards of the normal AC coach fare in the pilot run.
