Clone trains will arrive at destinations 2-3 hours before parent trains

With the Railways rolling out 40 clone trains from Monday, waitlisted passengers on high traffic routes can hope to reach their destinations two-three hours before the corresponding parent train.

These clone trains -- primarily 3-AC trains with fewer halts, higher speeds, and departure time before the parent train -- come as a boon for the passengers who have to travel in an emergency. Their stoppages will be limited to operational halts or Divisional Headquarters en-route.
