IR should decide the criteria for declaring any train as SUPER FAST. There should be some parameters to put this "super fast" tag. Passengers unnecessary paying Super-fast charges to slow and late trains.
In my point of view, A trains should be declare as super fast if
1. Average Speed >60 or 65
2. Max stoppage between source and destination should not...
more... be more than 5 or 7.
3. Average Delay not more than 1 hour
4. Maximum speed should reach 110 KMPH or above.
I know couple of trains between Delhi and Patna who are superfast but of no use. Either they run slower or average delay is more than 3 hours. Why IR charging for such trains.
Like Magadh Express, Vikramshila Express, Seemanchal express, North-east express such trains has zero marks in punctuality, still taking charges for SF.
