Sir, Kudos to Railways for bringing Mysuru under the electrified Railway map. But nowadays, I learn that some trains from either Bengaluru or other places were converted to Linke Hofmann Busch (LHB) coaches (non A/C). So I feel that Namma Mysuru also deserves to upgrade at least two popular trains originating from city, to LHB rakes, instead of Integral Coach Factory (ICF). Since these LHB rakes are of new technology for increasing speed and efficiency, I would request the Railway authorities concerned to convert any two trains originating from Mysuru to Bengaluru (one as any day Express or Superfast Inter-city Express and the other as Superfast Sleeper long distance train) to LHB as it may improve the speed and efficiency of the train’s running status. Will the authorities concerned think it over?
