* Thanks for pointing out the error, by faster I meant faster route train, word route was missed out. Now I have removed the word “faster”.
* Actually HWH-KLK is the only direct train between 2 destination is actually among the slower train as compared to other options.
* This train used to enjoy high priority in old days which was second only to HWH-NDLS Raj and was at par with poorva (Delux). This train have gradually lost its sheen due to introduction of a large number of faster trains on...
more... the route.
* 12809-10 HWH-CSTM is fastest option with avg speed of about 60kmph, which could be achieved due to good priority, inspite of the fact that it run on 110kmph route. HWK-KLK mostly run on 130kmph route (fastest route i.e. HWH-NDLS) and still have lower avg speed (53kmph) due to lower priority and large number of stops fron Delhi-Kalka. So its LHBfication can help increase its speed to 130kmph.
