Passengers will be greeted to a new ambience aboard the Deccan Queen, whose upgraded coaches come with facilities to cook and serve fresh meals and hot drinks, from today onwards. The train is being converted from the old ICF (Integral Coach Factory) class to newer LHB (Linke Hofmann Busch) class with swank coaches.

The Deccan Queen is the only passenger train that has a functional dining car. The new 40-seater dining car has 10 dining tables; each has four chairs along the panoramic windows. Half of the coach has a well-equipped kitchen with provisions for pantry storage, electric cooking range, deep freezers and even a refrigerator, service table, multiple sinks and service counters for the manager.
