But how are the working of these trains-Flying queen express is a completely double-decked train and running on th eElectrified line of Mumbai-Surat. but comfort level? We have to check that out. We earlier had them running in Brindavan Express in the late 80's and also in the Mumbai-Pune sector later removed because of inconvinience. Now it has been planned to re-introduce them. We have to check the comfort level from passenger point of view.
We can have a train from Whitefield,Devanhalli and Nelamangla to Mysore once the doubling gets over. Till then it can be better utilized on devanhalli route.
