The Deccan Queen, the first deluxe train introduced to serve 2 important cities of the region and was aptly named after Pune, departed in its new Avatar with New LHB coaches, LHB Vistadome coach and LHB Dining Car on June 22. The run of Deccan Queen with LHB coaches was much awaited, which was fulfilled today amidst the clapping of happy and delightful passengers and railfans.
The public of both the cities is happy with the impeccable record of “right time start” and “arrival” of the Deccan Queen. Over the last 92 years of its colourful history, the train has grown from a mere medium of transportation between two cities into an institution binding generation of intensely loyal passengers.
With the attaching of the Vistadome coach which was introduced on August 15, 2021, presently the composition of Deccan Queen is 17 coaches including one Vistadome coach, 4 AC Chair Car, 9 Second Class Seating and 2-second class seating cum guard’s brake van and One Pantry Car.
Over the last 92 years of its colourful history, the train has grown from a mere medium of transportation between two cities into an institution binding generation of intensely loyal passengers. The history of the Deccan Queen (Dakkhan ki Rani) is literally a tale of two cities.
