Speed counts. One more glaring example. Mumbai -Howrah (via Nagpur) with a distance of 1968 kms is covered in 30.30 hrs in Gitanjali Express @ Avg. Speed of 64 km / hr. Ahmedabad - Howrah (via Nagpur) with a distance of 2087 kms. is covered in 37.35 hrs. in Howrah Express @ Avg Speed of 55 kms / hr. Distance is more by only 119 kms and the time taking is more by 7 hrs. Even if duronto is not introduced between Ahmedabad - Howrah but need of the hour is how to make it at par level with Gitanjali Express. Reduction of 6-7 hrs in travel time is possible if avg speed is just increased to 65 km / hr which is the normal amongst the fast trains. WR officials please look into this aspect urgently.
