Jerk-Free Train Journey In Rajdhani!

Bhubaneswar: Taking note of regular feedback from passengers about discomfort due to jerks in LHB coach trains like Rajdhani Express, the Railways has formulated action plan to give attention to longitudinal jerks in Centre Buffer Couple (CBC) after getting the issue examined by the expert committee.

The committee has advised to replace the single pack of draft gear and floating plate draft gears CBC with balanced draft gear CBCs.

Moving ahead with technology, the coaching depot of Bhubaneswar has replaced the earlier old-age single plate/floating plate design by balanced draft gear with high tensile tight lock CBC (new design of balanced draft gear coupler) in all the Rajdhani Express coaches to provide a jerk-free journey to the passengers.

The Bhubaneswar coaching depot has received 93 sets of new designed balanced draft gear coupler where 42 coaches comprising 84 sets of coupler have been replaced.

Now, all the Rajdhani Express trains to and from Bhubaneswar will run with modern couplers to ensure smooth and jerk-free journey to the passengers. A coupler connects coaches with each other.

The old couplers have now being replaced with newly-developed CBC with balanced draft gear.

The new version of the CBC has high-capacity shock absorbers which ensure that jerks are not felt in case of braking and during acceleration, resulting in making the ride smoother for passengers.

The earlier standard coupler connecting LHB (Linke Hofmann Busch) coaches had some issues which resulted in jerks during the journey.
