'''UDAY Express''' or '''Utkrisht Double Decker Air Conditioned Yatri Express''' are completely [[Double-decker train|Double-Decker]] AC chair car trains designed by [[RDSO]]. The coaches of the train have an anti-graffiti vinyl wrapped exterior and have been given a bright color scheme of yellow, orange and pink - somewhat similar to that of the [[Tejas Express]]. The train service has been envisioned as a 'luxury' train service for business travelers. According to [[Indian Railways]], Uday Express will cater to the "busiest routes" and increase carrying capacity by 40%. These trains have a seating capacity of 120 per coach (50 for upper deck, 48 for lower deck and 22 on the ends) as compared to Shatabdis which can seat up to 78.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/india/humsafar-to-uday-with-4-new-trains-prabhu-offers-solutions-to-all/story-uv08doC75u4L5LnDBuddHO.html|title=Humsafar to Uday: With 4 new trains, Prabhu offers solutions to all|date=2016-02-25|website=www.hindustantimes.com|language=en|access-date=2019-03-04}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.financialexpress.com/india-news/uday-express-train-route-utkrisht-double-decker-air-conditioned-yatri-features-indian-railways/746933/|title=New train: Indian Railways UDAY Express from Coimbatore to Bengaluru soon; boasts of automatic food vending machines and LCD screens|date=2017-07-03|website=The Financial Express|access-date=2019-03-04}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.financialexpress.com/photos/business-gallery/1055768/uday-express-new-train-2018-indian-railways-utkrisht-double-decker-air-conditioned-yatri-images-features/|title=UDAY Express: Indian Railways’ new train for business travellers!
