Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu will flag off Bangalore Cantonment-Kamakhya Humsafar Express through video conferencing on Sunday.
The minister had announced introduction of the all-AC affordable 'luxury' train for the common man in his Railway Budget.
The Humsafar train, with 19 air-conditioned 3-tier LHB German coaches, has facilities such as Global Positioning System (GPS)-based passenger information system, odour control system, fire announcement system etc. A GPS-based display system at each end of the coaches shows real-time information about the exact location of the train and the distance from the next station.
Each coach of the train has modern toilets with plush interiors. The odour control system has been integrated with the toilet flush in such a way that each flushing releases perfumes. The train has an extensive fire and smoke detection system with six CCTV cameras and 10 smoke detectors and four heat detectors fitted in each coach.
