Tweeting about same, Western Railways wrote: "To keep up with changing times, WR is modernising logo used to mark women’s coaches. Apart from change in logo, posters of inspiring women with details of ir achievements will also be displayed in lies coaches".

As a part of project, only two of 12-coach trains have been upgred with new logo and posters as of yet. However, two more are expected to come out in a few weeks.

This idea for a logo change came into existence after a regular inspection that took place two months ago by AK Gupta, WR (Western Railways) General Manr. He felt that old logos did t equately represent women of today.
