AC Express (Indian Railways)
AC Express trains are fully air-conditioned Superfast Express trains linking major cities in India. They have high priority and are among the fastest trains in India. Though some trains travel at 130 km/h km/h in some sections, most of them are restricted to a speed of 110 km/h. The food is not included in the fare on these trains, but the bedroll (pillow, pillow cover, blanket and bedsheet) is free for passengers who are traveling by AC Express. The charges of these trains are cheaper than those of the Rajdhani Express, Duronto Express and Humsafar Express (except Chennai–Thiruvananthapuram AC Superfast Express – with Rajdhani-type fare). Some of the AC Express trains have pantry cars for the required passengers. The first AC train, Nanda Devi AC Express ran on 1 July 2008, with a maximum speed of 125 kmph. Madurai-Bikaner Anuvrat AC Superfast Express is the longest-running AC Superfast Express of Indian Railways, covering total distance of around 3065 kilometres.
