Summary:
A regular-day train journey, taking into account breakdowns and stoppages, might even take 8 hours in contrast. We are waiting to get a schedule from the research design scientific organisation (RDSO) for a physical trial before final consent. Goyal sat with Himachal Pradesh chief minister Jai Ram Thakur over the matter of increasing both the speed and the frequency of the six trains on this British-era line. Railway minister Piyush Goyal had asked the railway board to find out if the travel time on this section could be cut.At some tunnels and curves on this 102-tunnel section, the permissible speed drops to just 8 kmph. The RDSO will use a diesel locomotive and, later, a rake for these tests..
