Another problem for train no. 18516 is the route from KDJR to DPS. In the present time table, time from KDJR to NYG, distance of 32 km has been kept 50 mins, from NYG to BSPX, distance of 24 km, 45 mins and from BSPX to DPS, distance of 32 km, 60 mins. This has been kept for a reason. There is speed restriction in this section due to too many sharp curves and trains are given maximum speed permission of only 40 kmph. Actually trains travel at 30 kmph speed only in this section. The train 07438, KCG- TATA Express has been kept a time of 38 Mins to travel from BSPX to DPS. But in practice it never travelled this distance below 60 Mins. What I mean is that until the section is modified and NOC is given for higher speeds, the trains will travel at the speed of...
more... 30 kmph only in this section. Now in the new time table, the time to run from KDJR to TATA has been decreased. But I feel that in practise the train will run taking the same time as it takes now and reach TATA after 11:30 am. The Name Tag Super Fast is only to cheat the public and increase the fare of its tickets.
