What is the benefit of running a train with LHB coaches and constantly running 4-6 hrs late.
Other thing is I don't see any benefits of running LHB coaches other than safety, which can be provided by CBC couplers in conventional coaches. If talking about seats in a 22 coacher LHB in which 2 are SLR there is 1600 seats and in 24 coach normal train in which 2 are SLR there is 1584 seats. Then why is so much unnecessary hype about LHB. LHB is good for Raj and Duranto for 160 kmph operational speed. But according to RSDO 130 is fit for CBC coupled coaches.
Please...

IR may be thinking that it's not wastage since Non-LHB Coaches have service life of 25 years but LHB coaches have service life of 35 years. When the Indian Railways Ministry has already increased fares of various things outside the IR Budget then they need to justify the spending of revenue in front of the passengers by showing things like LHB coaches. Now passengers in trains like Poorva, Shiv Ganga and Swatantrata Sainani Exps can also say while traveling in LHB that they are getting their money's worth :)
