according to me in pure lhb coaches, no differently-abled persons part is there in EOG. it is the only disadvantageous point in case of LHB.even though I personally like it.Even last year a person filed a case in madras HC against alloting LHB rakes to pandian exp due to less no.of UR coaches and no part of coach for differentely asked ones. more over in LHB rakes, no of UR coaches also less.
Due to change in coupling feature, there is sudden jerk when train accelerates/deaccelerates
