WESTERN RAILWAY ADVANCE RATES NOTIFICATION NO. 6 (COACHING) OF 2025 PARA FOR RATES ADVICE (COACHING) OF 2025 Sub:- Providing reserved accommodation in LSLRD coaches of fully reserved trains such as Duronto express trains.

Ref :-Instructions issued vide Railway Board’s letter No.2023/TG-I/20/82 dated 08-11-2023 and 19-08-2024 (Commercial Circular No.23 of 2023 and 06 of 2024).

****** Please refer to instructions referred to above wherein the guidelines for earmarking of accommodation in LSLRD coaches attached in fully reserved trains like Duronto Express trains and methodology to be adopted for catering facility were issued.

2.

The matter has been further reviewed, and the following has been decided by Railway Board:-

(i)The entire passenger portion of LSLRD coach having composite composition shall be given Coach Identity “DS-1, wherein ‘D’ would be there for portion having 31/32 reserved 2S class accommodation while ‘S’ would stand for Sleeper accommodation earmarked for Persons with Disabilities.

(ii)The reservation quota for Persons with Disabilities (PwDs) in such trains(Duronto type) shall be earmarked only in the portion of LSLRD earmarked for them on normal fare applicable for that train.

(iii)The portion earmarked for PwDs shall be treated as sleeper class and due to technical reasons, option of catering will not be provided to such passengers.

(iv)The portion of LSLRD earmarked for general passengers may be fired as 2S reserved class only and the fare may be charged accordingly.The facility of opting catering will not be available to such passengers due to technical reasons.

(v)Further, the unutilised accommodation of this portion shall be released at the time of preparation of first reservation charts to such passengers of normal sleeper class/reserved 2S class coaches, as the case may be, who have not opted for catering.In such cases breach of priority may occur as passengers booked earlier with catering options may not be allotted berths while the passengers who have not opted for catering but booked later may get confirmed. However, keeping in view technical design aspects of LSLRD coaches where it is not feasible to provide catering and also the fact that the percentage of sleeper class/2S class passengers who opt for pre-paid catering is low, fractional cases of breach of priority, if any, may be accommodated to provide intended facilities to the passengers and to avoid complaints on this account.

(vi)Even if a single passenger has opted for catering, such passengers may not be shifted to LSLRD coach. Onboard ticket checking staff shall also be advised that no passenger who has opted for catering should be shifted to LSLRD coach.
