This train once used to start at 0600 hrs and reach LJN at 1100 hrs with avg speed of ~55 kph. But additional stops at SWA and BV slowed it down. However, it was throttled the most at BBK outers and usually reached BNZ quite late. To put the final nail in the coffin, the VB now overtakes it too.
I am not advocating for removal of stoppages since I use it to travel b/w BV and LJN a lot. However, IR needs to really take control of the priority mechanism...
more... in the GD-BBK section where the train gets really late.
please wait...Translate to HindiYe train pehle 0600 baje chalti thi aur LJN pahunchti thi 1100 baje, average speed ~55 kph ke saath. Lekin SWA aur BV mein additional stops ne speed ghata di thi. Lekin sabse zyada BBK outers mein train ko roka gaya aur BNZ generally bahut der se pahunchti thi. Ab toh VB train bhi isse peeche chhod gayi hai.
Main ye nahi keh raha ki stoppages hata diye jaye, kyunki main ise BV aur LJN ke beech safar karne ke liye use karta hoon. Lekin IR ko GD-BBK section mein priority mechanism par asar dalna zaroori hai jahan train bahut late ho jati hai.
