If Railways closes or replaces existing shatabadi trains, it's rakes consisting of AC chair car (LSCZAC) and Executive AC chair car(LFCZAC) would lie useless. Intercity trains usually don't have more than 4 AC chair car coaches, and Executive AC chair car is used rarely outside Shatabdi/ Tejas trains like Jaipur DD & Steel Express. To prevent this wastage of rakes, Railways is not replacing existing shatabadi trains, but they would be replaced eventually as more VB rakes are produced.

The planners kept SAME DAY MAINTAINACE for Both Shatabadi & VB, as in their minds, the VB will eventually replace the Shatabdi and the Shatabdi will stop either when it's rakes retire or due to less patronage. Shatabdi on MMCT ADI section had a longer rake than the VB Rake, so it's replacement would have meant reduced capacity.
Railways must ban the production of LSCZAC AC chair car coaches, so for LHBfication, existing shatabadi trains can be replaced by VB trains.

Regular trains don't have many of these types of compartments, and Executive AC chair car is rarely used outside of Shatabdi and Tejas trains like Jaipur DD & Steel Express. To avoid this wastage, the Railways are not replacing Shatabdi trains at the moment, but they will eventually have to be replaced as more VB trains are produced.

please wait...Translate to HindiAgar Railways shatabdi trains ko bandh ya badal de, to iske rakes jaise ki AC chair car (LSCZAC) aur Executive AC chair car(LFCZAC) bekaar pada rahega. Intercity trains mein aam taur par 4 AC chair car coaches se jyada nahi hote aur Executive AC chair car Shatabdi/Tejas trains jaise ki Jaipur DD & Steel Express ke alawa kam use hoti hai. Ise rokne ke liye Railways maujooda shatabdi trains ko nahi badal rahi hai, lekin aage chalkar yeh badal di jayegi jab VB rakes ke production badh jaayegi.
Pahle WR ne MMCT GNC VB ko Reverse Shatabdi ke roop mein plan kiya tha, phir unhe pata chala ki Tejas already reverse Shatabdi hai saath hi AC DD Express jaise aur trains hain, aur ek clone Shatabdi banana zyada sahi hoga. SR ne VB par yeh concept MAS MYS section par copy kiya. Planners ne dono Shatabdi aur VB ke liye SAME DAY MAINTAINACE rakha, kyonki unke dimaag mein VB eventually Shatabdi ko replace karega aur Shatabdi retire hone ya kam patronage ke karan bandh ho jayegi. MMCT ADI section par Shatabdi ko ...
