Bro I meant that red & grey stripes symbolises Rajdhani Trains right? I know those old Rajdhani rakes are vinyl-covered to be used as duronto.. but why those red & grey stripes for Express trains? then how'll people understand the difference between Express & Rajdhani trains?

I guess LHB rakes can be introduced in it as Poorva & Sampoorn kranti have got.. I think one of the premier South Eastern Regional train should also get LHB rakes.
