I think the colors that were chosen by Mumbaikars and Punekars was the best. The combo of white, blue and red is associated to DQ. Its gonna take time to get used to the new colors. Can't wait to see the Queen in her new avatar :)
Just like they destroyed the complete legacy of blue ICF with that horrible dirty utkrusht combination... We lost Shatabdi janshatabdi and Rajdhani as well
I had voted for the royal blue on a white background and two other choices (I. believe their were 7-8 options). It is disappointing to know that the railways have disregarded the public opinion on this one. It heartening to know that the DQ will be operated in push pull mode with matching locomotives at either end. This will boost the acceleration, eliminate the need for attaching /detaching bankers in the ghats and speed up the train.
I don't know why Railway board asked for people's opinions on livery! The DQ lovers has chosen the correct livery. Current DQ livery is common for all CR day trains and not specific for DQ, the iconic train. DQ must have an unique livery. This should not happened with DQ as now a days we can not distinguish Rajdhani express with other SF trains
An update to the video. Correct me if I get it wrong. None of these things happened. The only change it got was a Vistadome coach. Why? The Madgaon Janshatabdi was upgraded to LHB coaches. Earlier there were two rakes for it shared with the Aurangabad Janshatabdi but just a single Vistadome coach. This is not a problem except in the monsoons where due to reduced speed in the Konkan railway, the the same coach cannot reach from Mumbai to Madgaon before the other one leaves from Madgaon. So you had Vistadome on alternate days since there was only one coach. Now the Madgaon Janshatabdi has two LHB takes with two Vistadome coaches shared with the Deccan express. The Madgaon Janshatabdi now leaves from CSMT instead of Dadar and this has been done because of the RSA agreement with Deccan. The old Janshatabdi vistadome was transferred to the Queen and since it just needs one dedicated coach, it runs on vistadome everyday. However, it's mighty stupid to have Vistadome on any trains running on the bhor ghats. Even if you ignore the insanely expensive price, all you get to see is an engine. Having a Vistadome for a Push-Pull or a banker hauled train is useless and even if that's not the case, you only get the vistadome experience on one side of the journey since these coaches cannot be turned around. There is just too much of fan following for his train and without any reason. The Queen doesn't have a timetable which is suitable for most people (especially ones in Mumbai). It has no intermediate stops and inspite of being one of the fastest, it's just too slow for today's day and age. The dining car is only available on non monsoon months as well.
Bro it was my wish that the new livery of Deccan queen express must get Kalyan shed based loco...😇 Since wcam has hauled Deccan queen express for upto 90 years...! Now, Kalyan shed will get that prevalige back... 😊 Thank-you for this video. 👍👍👍

Wrong info from 1:18. Design review asked from Railfans and passengers were not from NID. Those designs were submitted by different railfans. Moreover the NID designs were a shock to all as restrained emperium was directly shown to everyone as approved even when DQ font design was said to be selected. No one was aware that NID has been approached even after taking feedback from passengers about more than 8 designs submitted by railfans.

What was the point in the vote if the people have chosen a completely different livery while IR still goes with its own decision! This restrained imperium livery looks really bad and way too busy. The people's choice was much better.
The Deccan Queen has been a very prestigious train in the Indian Railways. Therefore it is fitting that it should run with the best coaches and locomotives and the facilities need to be top-class. The livery needs to be different and state of the art.
I liked the livery chosen by the public .. it goes with the history.. I don't know why they asked the public if eventually they themselves had to decide
Happy to know that ICF is going to build the coaches for.Decaan Rani My humble suggestion they can have then Dining car as a Vistadome coach or at least have a Vistadome coach attached at rear as observation car
Duronto and Shatabdi too should've been kept at their unique liveries. But here in Kolkata side, Duronto has only 2-3 unique coach, last time I saw and rest all red LHB...
The royal blue shade with white background with DQ, with red top and bottom needs to be emphasized at any cost to the ministry of railways. Also the public must try to demand for self propelled Deccan queen train set instead of engine pull push. Vandematram.
@@ujanroy4537 I need to check my older computer in which the archives are saved. Could u send your email… when I find/retrieve them, I will email them to you.
Since LHB has various colour there should be separate liverly for all Rajdhani Express. Once premier train now lost it's charm because of all other train now in red lhb coaches. At present only Patna n Bhubneshwar Rajdhani are distinct n that too because of painting not different liverly.
I would go with the general view of the public. The predominantly red and green livery reminds me of some of the Bangladesh colours. Yes the ICF Dining car was unique
Yes lot of debate on this...but the decision has been made and the rakes are in production at ICF... And you are right, the Bangladesh LHB have red white and green... but then some of these Bangladesh LHB cars were supplied by India 😊
Awesome video. Unfortunately I failed to find that website to cast my vote for those designs. And I believe it's now too late for my feedback. But honestly I loved all of them and soon to see them blazing on the tracks. Great work buddy

Pakistan or Bangladesh to my knowledge do not have Red on any of their liveries… the colors of Restrained imperium are Red-yellow-green/torquise. Some of our very prestigious trains like Brindavan , Pandian and Vaigai have carried green liveries. Karachi circular railway has a livery very similar to the outgoing Deccan Queen livery. Moreover our neighbors don’t have monopoly rights on any color. Also Bangladesh is a friendly country.

It would be total wastage running any train with push-pull concept for passenger trains, there are many other reasons why trains are delayed. It is economical running two locos for goods train only where railway earns major revenue. It is absolutely unnecessary, as in one video you said why passenger mail express trains are run with twin diesel locos. It makes no sense running even Rajdhani class trains with twin locos or push pull as it will consume same power ( each loco) with added headache for loco pilots & other staff, saving merely 2 to 3 hours of travel time.
I feel Until trainsets take over, IR should expt with having a driving trailer car at one end. This will also provide short turn-around times. This system is quite common in Europe and even UK
What a shame that after 170 years of Railways introduction India had to approach a German Company for LHB. Indian design institutes are sipping tea and playing politics.
Both ICF and LHB are foreign designs (Swiss and German). The ICF is more obsolete although even the LHB.is now an old design. What IR needs is self powered trainsets with light weight aluminium cars and tilting suspension.
The new design & color scheme approved by Railway Ministry for the majestic DECCAN QUEEN is at best crap and does not signify any imperium. I am surprised that NID even qualified it for the final selection list. A 5 year old kid learning to hold water coloring brushes would have come up with a better design. If I ever meet this crappy Imperium design team from NID, I will definitely tell them how utter failure they are and stop ruining future designs by switching careers to a janitor at a state transport bus stand
Look at the current state of the DQ, it is really pathetic, dirty rake, no uniformity in livery. God knows when the switch to LHB will really happen. Maybe on 1st June? The day of DQs 92nd birthday?
To Be Honest , I don't like the livery. I like more modern liveries and not cultural ones , i wish we had used no.2 and no.4 but obviously the railway board changed it.
@@shubhampawaskar6443 Just checked. Yes, if Garib Raths were ever to be made on LHB rakes, they'd look like this. Also Green overall with red band is military rake? The more I look at this new livery, the worse it looks. A cross between GR, Military, and Pakistan Railways.
@@btarunr1 Yeah no doubt this livery has got mixed opinions. I hope the red in that livery turns out to be royal red and the green to be a mix of aqua and green. At least imo that won't make it look like Bangladesh flag livery. Still not a livery I would call as Indian though. About Garib Rath, things don't seem to point towards LHB. Even if it does after the launch of 3AC Economy, it might still not get a separate livery.

Better yet, just keep the current DQ livery (Royal Blue with white tops and a red stripe). It already looks so regal.
They may define it as Restrained Imperium and all, but at first sight it feels like a combo of Garib Rath & Rajdhani or nowadays general lhb livery.

While I am personally neutral to any livery that CR eventually chooses, I am in complete agreement with you regarding self propelled EMU rakes...
Most important is the travel time should be reduced by @ 30 minutes than the present one.
Yes... if speed is increased to 130 kmph from the present 105 kmph, there will be a saving of time
NID(ahmedabad) should be given special award for making things from better to worse
And also end on gen sets should be replaced by power through pentographs,to avoid pollution.
I think in the actual rake the EoG will be replaced by LSLRD cars and hotel power will come from HoG through Panto
When will we see a semi high-speed aesthetic looking all facility trains like Alstom and bombardier passenger trains in Indian railways
IR bureaucracy doesn’t understand the efficiency of fast trainsets. They are in a time capsule
According to me, if railway had chose that shade then voting to choose shade by people became worthless People choice are useless
