Enjoyed creating my first set of imaginary trains on IRI - Agra-Varanasi Shatabdi Exp. This will provide an excellent fast connection between two of the most sought after tourist destinations (for Indians and foreigners alike). It will also connect Kanpur and Allahabad along the way. It occupies a fairly non-congested slot in the TDL-ALD section. Please take a look:
/train/40899/450/334
/train/40901/334/450
The...
more... wizard for designing schedules is great. However, there are some minor glitches:
1. It always picks the shortest route between adjacent halts. For example, it always picks the route via Madhosingh for ALD-BSB. So, I had to force it to route via Bhadohi by indicating a passing time at Bhadohi.
2. It indicates both arrival and departure at AGC though it is the destination.
The train should be completely elec-hauled. However, what loco could be used? Can a WAP5 from GZB be employed?
