Few info about MEMU trains :-
     The Mainline Electric Multiple Unit or MEMU is a commuter rail system in India operated by the Indian Railway for semi-urban and rural areas.
    The first MEMU service in Bilaspur division of S E Railway started on 17-10-1995 in 1995-96 between Raipur-Durg-Bhatapara-Raipur-Bilaspur. First train was inaugurated by V.C.Shukla, the senior leader of Indian national congress. 
    The system uses Mainline Electrical Multiple Units  (MEMU) operating on Alternating Current (AC) drawn from over-head cables through the catenary system.
    MEMUs are popular on commuter and suburban rail networks around the world due to their fast acceleration and pollution-free operation.  Being quieter than DMUs and locomotive-drawn trains, MEMUs can operate later at night and more frequently without disturbing residents living near the railway lines. In addition, tunnel design for MEMU trains is simpler as provisions do not need to be made for diesel exhaust fumes, although retrofitting existing tunnels to accommodate the extra equipment needed to transmit the power to the train can be expensive and difficult if the tunnel has limited clearance.
      MEMU trains are designed for semi-urban and rural areas, unlike EMU (electric multiple unit) trains that are designed for urban and semi-urban areas. MEMU trains also have end vestibules (gangway connections) not found on EMU trains. Also, unlike EMU, MEMU trains have lavatories.
