Agra-New Delhi corridor to get fully air-conditioned double decker superfast express trains

Indian Railways plans to introduce doubledecker air-conditioned trains on the Agra-Delhi corridor. This decision is based on the successful run on ten traffic-heavy rail routes that connect metropolitan cities. The fully air-conditioned double decker superfast express will now be introduced on the Agra-New Delhi corridor.
This has been reported in timesofindia.indiatimes.com dated 18 May 2016.

The decision is based on the increasing demand from Agra residents for quick connectivity with the national capital during morning hours. Accordingly, preparations are being made to survey its operational feasibility. Engineers will inspect the 200-Km stretch of the track and platforms of intervening stations because such double decker coaches require different specifications and sizes of the platform to operate.
The AC double-decker train will have 12 coaches with 110 seats in each and will run at approximately a maximum speed of 110 kmph - the fare is likely to be less than that of Gatimaan Express.
