What is MEMU?
MEMU
is a commuter rail system in India operated by the Indian Railway.
The
system uses Mainline Electrical Multiple Units (MEMU) operating on
Alternating Current (AC) drawn from over-head cables through the
catenary system.
Main
diffrence between MEMU and Passenger train is in speed. Memu runs on
100 Km/h, while passenger with 60 Km/h.
The
MEMU service is envisaged to cater to short distance commuters with
the aim of weaning them away from long distance trains. These
services were to replace passenger trains operating in the stretch.
But, Railways have decided not to withdraw the passenger trains.
