For the comfort and convenience of passengers, Indian Railways has withdrawn the restriction on the provision of linen, blankets and curtains in trains.
This restriction was imposed in view of the pandemic and COVID-19 Protocol due to Standard Operating Protocol (SOP) for the movement of passengers by trains.
Implementing this recent decision, Western Railways (WR) is going to restore the provision of linen in 20 pairs of trains. However, the service will be applicable in the trains travelling to/fro Mumbai from April 7. It is worthwhile to mention that Western Railway has already initiated linen services in two pairs of trains and will be resumed in other trains soon.
According to a press release issued by Sumit Thakur – Chief Public Relations Officer of WR, the details of these trains are:
Provision of Linen from April 7, 2022:
·Train No. 12951 Mumbai Central – New Delhi Rajdhani Express
·Train No. 12953 Mumbai Central – H. Nizamuddin August Kranti Rajdhani Express
Provision of Linen from April 8, 2022:
·Train No. 12952 New Delhi – Mumbai Central Rajdhani Express
·Train No. 12954 H. Nizamuddin – Mumbai Central August Kranti Rajdhani Express
Provision of Linen in other trains:
·Train No. 12239/12240 Mumbai Central – Hisar Duranto Express from April 12, 2022.
·Train No. 12227/12228 Mumbai Central – Indore Duranto Express from April 14, 2022.
·Train No. 22209/22210 Mumbai Central – New Delhi Duranto Express from April 15, 2022.
Provision of Linen Already Resumed in Maharashtra:
·Train No. 12923/12924 Dr. Ambedkar Nagar – Nagpur Express
It is being informed that the supply of linen (Bedsheets, Blankets, etc.) is being done in a phased manner to ensure the proper quality of linen. This is because a sizeable amount of fresh linen is being procured as a lot of old stock has become unserviceable in the last two COVID-19 years. Railways are working overtime to bring the service back to 100 per cent.
