Indian Railways today restored the Mumbai-Pune Deccan Express special train services with Vistadome coaches enabling the passengers travelling on the train to enjoy the views of the Western Ghats in Mumbai-Goa route.
The air-conditioned coaches has glass panels on the roof & have large windows. Seats can rotate up to180 degrees," said a top railway official. A commuter travelling in the coach said," Vistadome coach will offer unhindered views of valley, river, waterfalls, and much more on the Mumbai-Pune route,"
Sharing photos of the new coach on his Twitter handle, Railway Minister Piyush Goyal wrote: "A Panoramic View of the Western Ghats: Wide window panes & glass rooftops of the first-ever Vistadome Coach in Pune-Mumbai Deccan Express provide passengers with an unhindered, unique and unforgettable travel experience. Come, experience the Western Ghats as never before!."
An official added that first trip on the Vistadome coach from Mumbai to Pune was a sellout. The official said that the passengers were eager to enjoy unhindered views of the valleys and waterfalls enroute, adding that the experience is similar to travelling in a Vistadome coach on the Mumbai-Goa route. At present, the Vistadome coach service is operational in the Mumbai-Madgaon Jan Shadabdi Special train.
