Indian Railways is mulling over launching Vistadome coaches on three picturesque routes from Delhi. The coaches will be in Shatabdi trains running from Delhi to Dehradun, Kathgodam, and Kalka. As per reports, each of the 18-coach Shatabdi trains on the three routes will have one vistadome coach. Most likely, the fares will be around 10% higher than executive class base fares of premium coaches. Railways is planning to introduce around 90 vistadome coaches by March 2022.
