Rail coach restaurant to add a new attraction near Mattancherry Halt station
RCR at Mattancherry Halt being developed under renovate, operate, maintain and transfer model; menu to be approved by Railways
A railway coach is being transformed into a restaurant near Mattancherry Halt station in Kochi, offering a unique dining experience to passengers. The air-conditioned Rail Coach Restaurant (RCR) is being developed under the renovate, operate, maintain and transfer (ROMT) model, with its menu to be approved by the Railways. This is the sole RCR located at a heritage station, as most RCRs across India are situated in urban areas.
The Mattancherry Halt station, with its five tracks, attracts thousands of tourists each year, making it an ideal location for this attraction. The refurbishing work on the AC train coach is expected to be completed this month, after which guests will be welcomed to the newly renovated space and its adjacent lawn-dining area.
