Why do Konkan Railway trains show very high average speeds in this site? 14 Answers Why do Konkan Railway trains show very high average speeds in this site? in some of the section of Konkan Railway, almost every train is average speed touching 110-120 kmph, howcome its possible on single track. if you check surathkal to Udupi is covered by most train 26-30 minutes, whereas the distance is 59km. is the distance showing is wrong. also between Ratnagiri and sawantvadi road most train are having average speed of 95kmph. Distance is inflated by some 30-40% to extract more money from passengers. ohhh.... then its some kind of toll tax on rail route....like u have to pay for expressway or DND Flyway. Yes and inflated by 40% As it is always said the distance in Konkan Railways is inflated. However, we can experience certain trains running at 100 kmph+ in certain sections and an avg. of 80 kmph+ thruout the journey. A few clarifications needs to be addrtessed so that everything gets clear. Q.1. Hw cum is this possible when avg speed after converting to normal distance scale falls below 60 kmph? (Eg. try avg speed of 12051/12052 Janshatabdi while travelling) Q.2. What is the approx distance between Mumbai & Madgaon (by normal distance scale)? Q.3.... more... Approx distance between Madgaon & Mumbai CST is 530 kms. The Konkan railway project was built with huge costs & so for the early recovery of the incurred cost, KR was allowed to inflate the distance to be able to charge more from passengers. The total route length of Konkan Railways is 760 kms from Mumbai to Mangalore. How come the distance between Mumbai CST & Madgaon can come up to 742 kms? It's only because of inflated route kms used by Konkan railways for charging the passengers more & recover the huge costs associated with building this extensive network. Tnx dear..... But has the cost been recovered? and once they start running in profit will the distance be changed....to normal level? This still remains a mystery whether the cost has been recovered or not and when they will resort to normal distance usage for determining passenger fares & other things related to distance. That will NEVER NEVER happen. In India what goes UP will never come DOWN especially if it happens to be PRICES. Actual Kms from LTT to MADGOAN is 572. LTT to Roha 130 Roha to MAO 442 . Initially it was decided after 10 years of operation (2008) KRC will be handed over to... more... Neral Matheran Passenger Trains Showing 65 Kmph. It's 10 Kmph. Distance Is 21 km Only. 4 Out of 8 Trains Showing This Problem. Plz Rectify This Problem. This is not a problem. To apply normal fare table but to charge excessive on the logic of extraordinary infrastructure, the IR has inflated the distance and charging distance inflated to 6 times (21 Kms. x 6 = 126). Similarly, an addition of about 40% is there on Konkan Railways. The actual average speed of this train is not 87 kmph. The actual route kms in Konkan railways have been inflated to charge more from passengers for early recovery of huge costs incurred for building this railway line. The distance between CSTM & MAO according to the time-table is 742 kms but the actual distance is somewhere around 540 kms. The whole Konkan route upto Manglaore is 760 kms long. So, this ain't the fastest jan shatabdi. Actual average speed is around 62 kmph. |
