Memu is coming to Kerala

- Memu
Memu is a new term for the Malayalis. Very soon we all can see Memus throughout Kerala. Memu is the short form for Main line Electrical Multiple Unit. This is a best solution for replacing the passenger trains. The seating capacity of Memu is about 1800. Nine coaches are there in a Memu. In this single coach 100 persons can sit and another 100 need to stand. The initial starting of a Memu is much quicker. These trains are suitable for covering the distance between 3 or 4 disticts very efficiently. The Memus can create a new concept of travelling in the mind of Kerala people
The memu will start conquering the railway lines of Kerala by this Onam. There are about 47 passenger train service s in Kerala. The memu service can be installed all over Kerala except in Trivandrum-Nagercoil railway line where the electrification is not yet completed. One of the major drawbacks of the Memu is that it does not have toilet in it.
