YUVA EXPRESS

Yuva express series of trains were introduced together with Duronto express in the financial year 2009-10. They were introduced to provide air conditioned low cost travel to the youth of the country. Yuva express runs between Howrah and Mumbai. It was initially intended to run as point to point service however soon commercial stops were introduced soon. Sixty percent of the seats are reserved for students, low income groups and people belonging to age group 18-45yrs. To avail this facility, a traveler must have an age/income proof certificate. The train have not been particularly good success and initial Howrah and Mumbai Yuva express train remains only train running under the Yuva class. Earlier there were only chair cars but later AC 2 tier and AC 3 tier were added. Generally in the 2 Yuva expresses there are 7-8 chair cars coaches and 5-6 AC 3 tier coaches and 2-3 AC 2 tier coaches.
