^^ That was from a trial run. The train is currently cleared up to 130kmph only as that's the max permitted speed of the Delhi-Kolkata track.

Except that the train is on its first commercial run today and is close to the destination. While it's an hour late, it can't have gone that far by now at 40kmph...

For those talking about war, put yourself in the hot seat and consider how you will frame your orders to the military leadership. And try answering the following: 1. What are the objectives of a war? 2. Are those objectives achievable with our current capabilities? 3. Can it be done in a manner wher...

Wouldn't leaking/publishing these internal documents run up against the Official Secrets Act at some point?

^^ Yes, we have no idea which is which. But showing a couple of subs openly could also mean that the other(s) is/are on deterrent patrol, or it's just a slice of the khan-like chutzpah Singha saar mentioned above ("here is a dhoti, wear it and start shivering").

The reason was simple, really. At the time of independence, BG, MG and two types of NG existed. Converting everything to SG was a waste of resources: since BG offerred more capacity, no point in deliberately going to the smaller SG, and if converting from MG, might as well go the whole distance to B...

Entrapment is entrapment. Let's not attempt to find the moral high ground losing sight of what's really happening. **That** is being desi, as an eloquent member deigned to point out earlier.

The new airport is also being built by GVK, right? So I assume they'd use both optimally to maximize RoI. Mumbai anyway has enough population to require at least two full fledged airports.

the current BLR-MAS route is not suitable for higher speed upto jolarpettai probably. after that its flattish. but the damage to timing already done. Not really.

I think Shatabdi & many express trains touches 110 between BLR & MAS. But I do agree with your overall statement. No efforts are being made to improve infra to support slightly higher speeds in many of S Indian routes. Even routes which are being laid newly, I am not sure if they are design...

^^Saar, where is the budget published? I really hope that for BLR, all help is extended in getting its station expanded. The so-called "pink book" of various railway units are out. See the one for SWR here: http://www.indianrailways.gov.in/railwayboard/uploads/directorate/finance_budget/B...

BLR seems to have been given a big namam in the budget. Just a tiny token mention of the suburban rail project in the budget speech.

arshyam

Though I'd personally love that, the problem is that there is no sign of upgrading speeds on this route. For the railway board, Delhi and its environs are the only ones that deserve greater speed tracks (and I am talking about measly 120/130, forget T-18 type 160/180). The max permissible speed has ...
