Regarding point 12. Is the ride index looks very high? Also Kavach is integrated. Thus we have our own ETCS. First major changes coming with signaling
Yes, it's too high. The avg ride index on current IR trains is 3.5 to 4. Mr Vaishnaw said that VB-2 will have a ride index of 2.5-3.

ETCS is a signalling system while Kavach is a train protection system. So you can't compare these two.

1. Change of formation with individual units with a non-driving Trailer Coach in the middle like an EMU for better acceleration/deceleration.

2. Time to reach 160 Kmph is 140 seconds compared to 145 seconds earlier.

3. Emergency lighting - 4 nos. in each coach for powering the lights in case all electricity connection fail in comparison with NIL earlier

4. 4 platform side cameras including rear view cameras outside the coach instead of 2 earlier.

5. Better heat ventilation and air-conditioning control by using higher efficiency compressor with UV lamp for germ free supply of air. This was not there in the earlier version.

6. The present coaches have Level-II safety integration certification for better train control management

7. Separate ventilation duct on the side wall as against part of traction motor earlier

8. 2 Nos. signal exchange lights on the coaches for exchange of signal with the way side stations

9. Fire detection system based on Aerosol fire suppression system in all coaches in place of just smoke detection system in the earlier coaches. Better fire safety.

10. Bigger Passenger Information and Infotainment System of 32" in every coach instead of 24" earlier.

11. Better Coach Control Management System for monitoring Air-Conditioning, communication and feed back to control centre/maintenance staff through GSM/GPRS.

12. Better riding comfort for passenger at 3.5 (riding index).

13. 4 Nos. emergency windows added in every coach.

14. Residual acceleration at 0.1 m/second at 160 Kmph as against 0.05 m/sec.

15. Better flood proofing for under-slung electrical equipments that will withstand floods up to a height of 650 mm as against 400 mm earlier.

16. Class 3 and 4 surge arrestors for electrical safety as against Class 2 and 3 surge arrestors earlier

17. Driver-Guard communication with voice recording facility.
Most are minor changes except Kavach integration. The interiors were supposed to be upgraded, however the videos don't suggest that. I think VB - 3 will be see generational changes (like higher speed limits, Jacobs bogie, etc.)

Ya'll Nibbiars Where the Delhi Metro gone wrong the Mumbai Metro got it right. The station need to be like this. The Delhis looks like a glorified Railway stations. They could had hired renowned architect like the Mumbai Metro but they didn't.

and then you have pajeets like this who will gladly ignore 99.999999% of Indian streets and focus on the 10 roads in the entire country that doesnt resemble a 4th world slum and claim everything is good. Ruling India must be the easiest job in the world. People have literally 0 expectations and you dont need to deliver anything either.




^ this is the funniest tweet in the thread. Posts a picture literally proving the point and claims it looks good :crying::crying::crying:
Indian know 0 about aesthetics.

Ya'll Nibbiars you need to see it in real to understand this not going to understand with just a photograph and the Delhi one dosent even has this no colour concerte exposed not even a full covered roofs. The finishing is smooth and the colour and the large glass facade are installed to maximize sunlight. If you don't understand facade then there is no use in continuing this conversation furthers.

Ya'll Nibbiars The Central is going to approve the 48 KM Versova Virar Sealink project in a few months. This project is estimated to cost 21,000 crores. The VVSL will cost less than twoce than the cost of the MTHL despite being a almost two and half times longer as the sealink will be much near to the cost unlike the Sweri Navasea Sealink which is in middle of a harbour with much more wind force it has to face. And this would be the longest sea bridge in the world and also the longest road bridge. And it is being implemented by the centre despite the high cost as the part of the Delhi Mumbai expressway projects.

Ok, well it can be done retrospectively now if it really makes a difference.
