Conventional ICF coaches is being replaced in phased manner

LHB coaches are technologically superior with features

[{"selector":"#anim-1086b4d8-2643-4036-bc3f-5abb67bd1653 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(12.526041439276142%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-287520fb-4ea0-4333-bfc9-4f4e78ff9f2d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-92fdaa64-68fa-44fa-bf27-b365d9a9add9","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 206.81555%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

These coaches have better riding and aesthetics

It offers safer and more comfortable journeys

LHB rake has Anti climbing arrangement, Air suspension (Secondary) with failure indication system

Recently, railways has converted several trains from conventional ICF rake to LHB rake

[{"selector":"#anim-aa03a51b-e004-4714-b294-7161a29be82f [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-12.526041439276142%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7d2f4679-c72a-44fa-8847-993d35577675","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(1)","scale(1.5)","scale(0.95)","scale(1)"],"offset":[0,0.33,0.66,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1450,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":1}]
