Excellent. IRY-IR20 is not a LHB product but an indigenous effort of RDSO/RCF.

Because they failed high speed oscillation trials.

The fluted steel plates give an effect of bamboos tied together to form a wall. Great capture.

IRY 20 coaches have been around for more than a decade now, always with the Swarn Shatabdi exp. I have traveled in these coaches during Dec 1998. And later in 2004 also. The toilets of these coaches are after the doors, ie, doors are at the extreme end. The windows are really huge. They used to have velvet upholstery back in 1998, but in 2004 it was plain rexine.

IR20/IRY coaches never failed any speed tests. These rakes were just rolled out by RCF to gear themselves up for the LHB coaches production. Infact lots of features of LHB coaches were incorporated including the bogie design in these rakes. The rake has a speed certificate of 110KMPH on B routes and 125KMPH on rajdhani routes
