These multicuisine restaurants, which will use old train coaches that are no longer operational, will be open to railway travellers as well as the public at large, and will be placed on an artificial track. However, unlike train coaches that typically have 72 berths, these “coaches” will have a seating capacity of around 40 chairs.

The first of these eateries is set to open at the Ajmeri Gate side of New Delhi railway station later this month, officials said. The remaining three restaurants — at the Anand Vihar, Chanakyapuri, and Old Delhi stations — will open by February 2024.
