When 22863/22864 can cover the same HWH-YPR distance in same time as this duronto inspite of having 8 additional halts equalling 28mins of halts, can't duronto be speeded up?
Railways instead of speeding up of trains, they are slowing down. I have traveled in this train in past can used to reach almost ahead of time at tech halts.
Now that tech halts are commercialised, even if it reaches early, cannot depart early from stations which is a major drop back from IR. Same is the case with all durontos.
