the correct time saved her life.We Were Focusing on Zooming in in Our Cameras and we thought she Crossed the tracks well 20-30 secs before when she actually came near the tracks but she stayed near the tracks for unknown reasons and we got to know it when we completely Zoomed out. It was really close call.

PA Shatabdi has an Avg of 70 Kmph and Top speed of 110 Kmph. Where as NJP shatabdi has top speed of 130 Kmph and avg as 70 kmph. Clearly Its the Fastest Diesel Train of India. For Ex. Bhopal Shatabdi has Avg of 84 Kmph but Top Speed of 150 Kmph where as Kanpur Shatabdi has an average of 88 kmph but Top Speed of 130 Kmph but still Bhopal Shatabdi is called the Fastest Train of India Currently. In NJP shatabdi's case Both Top Speed and Average are More and Equal Respectively so it is the fastest Train of India on Diesel Loco. Objectors also know it but for personal reasons they are deliberately taking a dig on my blog. These Baseless Objections Should be Overruled because Facts are clear and NJP Shatabdi is the Fastest Diesel Train Of India. #Admins #Moderator

Yes because correct marketing was not done and bookings were open only a day ahead of the inaugural run. It will attract pax but not that much but the YPR AC exp will be Jam Packed on every run :)
