To enhance passenger convenience, the railway administration has made significant changes to the train's coaches. The Nauchandi Express (Train No. 14241 and 14242), which runs between Saharanpur and Prayagraj Sangam via the district, will now operate with upgraded modern Linke Hofmann Busch (LHB) coaches. This new arrangement has been implemented effective January 15, 2026.
Enhanced Safety And Comfort
The introduction of LHB coaches will ensure a safer, more comfortable, and smoother journey for passengers. Constructed from stainless steel, these coaches are equipped with anti-telescopic technology, which significantly reduces the risk of loss of life and property in the event of an accident.
Speed And Modern Features
These coaches are capable of running at speeds of up to 160 km per h. Thanks to a superior suspension system, passengers will experience fewer jerks during the journey. Additionally, the coaches feature larger windows, improved ventilation, and modern interiors, further enhancing the overall travel experience.
