Sorry to say this but Gatimaan is a joke compared to the Bhopal Shatabdi in the 90s which used to take 4 hrs. 24 mts. from NDLS to JHS with two halts at Agra Cant and Gwalior, with a maximum speed of 140 kmph. NDLS dep 6.15, JHS arr 10.39 (dep 10.47, BPL arr 14.00). Granted that there is much more traffic now but that's no excuse for going backwards as far New Delhi - Jhansi is concerned. On the other hand, VB is a huge step forward as far as overall running times are concerned.
