500 hours of infotainment for passengers of Tejas Express

Chennai:24.01.2020

Passengers of Tejas Express, a premium superfast train between Chennai Egmore and Madurai, can now access 500 hours of inhouse entertainment options on their mobile phones.

Southern Railway recently began offering ‘magicbox’, a wi-fi infotainment system which lets passengers access pre-recorded shows, movies and sops on their phones, an official release said on Thursday.

The decision follows feedback from passengers who felt that a premium train like Tejas should offer inhouse entertainment to enhance the joy of travelling. Tejas coaches were initially provided with seatmounted infotainment systems which were removed after complaints from travellers about malfunctioning. A railway board fiat had instructed to discontinue all seat-mounted infotainment systems in Tejas.

‘Magicbox’ is pre-installed with movies, content for kids, music and government schemes. It has content in regional languages too.

Tejas Express runs 6 days a week, except Thursday. The superfast train has a run time of six hours, with two halts at Tiruchirapalli and Kodaikanal.
