I travelling in Janmabhoomi express from Tadepalligudem to Visakhapatnam in GS sitting reserved coach my first experience in LHB GS sitting coach. The train left TPG at 1546 and was doing 116kmph at Navabpalem 10km after TPGudem and there after maintained 100-110kmph throughput the journey upto Thadi 26km away from Vskp for 217km. Contrary to every time the train picked up speed after kovvur station from 60kmph to 80kmph on Godavari Bridge and maintained the same speed till the last coach of the train left Godavari station platform which is a big shock to me and I don't remember any train doing and even halted in station for signal. Kovvur to RJY Pf halting took 14mins for 8km and reached at 1626, NDD 1600. Halted for 5mins and stopped at SLO and reached Tuni by 1800 and took halt for 4-5mins I could see scores of passengers coming from last 3...

One more surprise shock came after DVD the train maintained 90kmph throughput although the curves and bridges which have 95kmph MPS upto Jaggyapalem signal and has to sow down to 30kmph and crossed on to Howarh line at Gopalpatnam and halted at Kancharapalem gate which is VsKP trip Loco shed home signal for 3 mins and then halted on PF 5 at 1949 a good 4hr 3mins for 243km with an avg of 60kmph. Had it not came to standstill in between would have reached by 1945 which is the right time. This is the best journey time by JB or any train towards Vskp after from the past 3yrs and I remember only once when my mother travelled and another time I went to rly station reached at 1945. In Aug 2022 when I travelled reached at 2040 took 5hrs the train was literally walking and jogging from Duvvada to Vizag for an hour for 18km.
Janmabhoomi express has a best track record of punctuality of being late by 15-30-60mins to Vskp and 30-60mins to Secunderabad everyday. Thanks to SCR for maintainh superb punctuality and ECOR for accomdating on PF delaying from AKP.
please wait...Translate to EnglishI'm on the Janmabhoomi express train from Tadepalligudem to Visakhapatnam. It's my first time in the GS sitting coach. The train left TPG at 1546 and was going at 116kmph at Navabpalem, 10km after TPGudem. It maintained a speed of 100-110kmph throughout the journey until Thadi, which is 26km away from Vskp for 217km. Usually, the train speeds up after Kovvur station, but this time it went from 60kmph to 80kmph on the Godavari Bridge and kept the same speed until the last coach left Godavari station platform, which was a big surprise for me. I don't remember any train doing that before. It even stopped at the station for signals. It took 14 minutes to halt at Kovvur to RJY Pf for 8km and reached at 1626. Halted for 5 minutes and stopped at SLO and reached Tuni by 1800. I could see many passengers coming from the last 3 GS coaches before the train started moving again. Left Anakapalle at 1855 and Duvvada at 1915, but as usual, it slowed down 5km before the station to get to the platform. Another surprise came after DVD, as the train maintained a speed of 90kmph throughout, even through the curves and bridges which have a 95kmph maximum speed until Jaggyapalem signal. It had to slow down to 30kmph and cross over to the Howarh line at Gopalpatnam. It halted at Kancharapalem gate, which is the VsKP trip Loco shed home signal, for 3 minutes and then stopped at PF 5 at 1949. It took a good 4 hours and 3 minutes to cover 243km, with an average speed of 60kmph. If it hadn't stopped in between, it would have reached by 1945, which is the right time. This is the best journey time by JB or any train towards Vskp in the past 3 years. I only remember once when my mother traveled and another time when I went to the railway station and reached by 1945. In August 2022, when I traveled, it took 5 hours and the train was moving very slowly from Duvvada to Vizag for an hour, covering only 18km. Janmabhoomi express is usually late by 15-30-60 minutes to Vskp and 30-60 minutes to Secunderabad every day. Thanks to SCR for maintaining superb punctuality and ECOR for accommodating the delay from AKP.
