Seats with the old arrangement currently carry 350 to 370 people during peak hours.

The Metro-type seating arrangement can take 112 additional people inside while the one in which Electronic Lighters Manufacturers the three-seat bench has been removed can take another 56.The trial of one 12-coach with seat modifications was started on Christmas Day. “The wheels are lighter than they originally made so we cannot convert all 12-coaches that ply on the mainline to the new arrangements even if they seemed to get a positive response in the survey to be conducted over next month,” said an official on condition of anonymity. This was done following the public outcry after 21-year-old Nakesh Bhavate fell off an overcrowded train on November 21.. “We will have introduce the new arrangements only in the coaches at either end so that the ones in the middle will be able to balance out the pressure,” the official added.
