Intercity replacing shatabdi will not run on time.
I had conversation with one of the station master in jhl-ldh single line section.
He said as shatabdis controlling is directly done through railway board thats why no one dare to loop shatabdi for crossing. But he said now intercity will be looped for dadar exp if necessary.
Moreover he said blocks were taken considering...
more... the timings of shatabdi but this will not be the case with new intercity
