According to the Railway Ministry, the old coaches include second AC, third AC and chair car. The new Garib Rath will only have third AC coaches. That is, there will be no second AC and chair car. Since booking starts 120 days in advance, it is likely that booking of second AC and chair car will be stopped in Garib Rath from next month.
Since a large number of coaches will be needed for this change, the option of second AC and chair car will be gradually discontinued. AC economy will have 81 seats, while the old coach had 72 berths. Fireproof material will be used in the berths.
