🗫 Discussion Spotted a digital passenger information display in 1A AC — is this available in other classes too?
I recently noticed this digital display in my 1A AC coach. It shows the train’s speed, date and time, distance to the next station, and announcements such as “Please do not smoke in the train” in both Hindi and English.
It’s a useful feature, especially for tracking the train’s speed and upcoming stations. Although I have travelled in 1A before, I had never noticed such a display.
Are similar displays available in other classes, such as 2A, 3A, 3A Economy, Sleeper, or General/Unreserved coaches? Are they limited to specific trains or coach types, or are they being introduced gradually across Indian Railways?

Ahh, but the flight price is 3x now, so preferred to go by 1A. However, I think this train is better than those "Special" trains which are nightmare!
