If everything goes according to plans, passengers in Western Railways (WR) may soon travel in safer coaches. The authorities have decided to use LHB (Linke Holfman Bush) coaches which are already being used in Rajdhani, Shatabdi and Duronto trains.
LHB coaches are based on German technology that is equipped with ultra-modern safety features. The coaches have crumble zones at both ends along with energy absorbers.
While crumble zone prevents impact of accident on passenger area, energy absorbers prevent thrust of accident from reaching the passengers. These coaches also have specially designed couplers (hooks to join coaches) that would lessen shaking of coaches when speeding.
“We are planning to use LHB coaches in super fast and express trains. We have forwarded a proposal for the same to higher officials and waiting for approval,” said Sharat Chandrayan, chief PRO, WR. According to him, LHB coaches will mostly be used in long distance trains.
