The Double Decker Train is a series of express trains composed of bi-level seating arrangements for railway passengers, operated by the Indian Railways. These trains were started for shorter routes in order to serve more people than a traditional chair car carriage. This type of train permitted the passengers to catch the train at the last minute of the journey with a confirmed reservation. These days, the stainless steel LHB coaches built at Kapurthala Coach Factory are utilized in AC double-decker trains.
The first Double Decker train, "Howrah Dhanbad AC Double Decker Express", started on October 1, 2011, between Howrah and Dhanbad Junction, covering a distance of 257 km in just 4 hours and 15 minutes.
The classes of travel available on Double Decker Trains are AC Chair Car (CC) and Executive Chair Car (EC).
Double Decker Express runs at an average speed of 45–70 km/h, and its maximum permissible speed is 120 km/h.
Total 14 Double Decker Express trains are running.
