BG Doubling on JAT > JRC:
Doubling in several portions of route is Incomplete. Work is fast progress. May be @ d end of year, Elec + Doub. Complete.
Portions of incomplete Doubling :
Vijaypur Jammu > Basantar Block Hut
Samba > Ghagwal
Chakdayala > Chhan Arrorian
Chhan Arorrian > Budhi
Madhopur Punjab > Bharoli Junction
Bharoli Junction > Pathankot Cantt.
I also noticed that the trains slow down very fast at Chhan Arorian. I thought there would be train Crossing, but after crossing 3/4th station, I noticed there was a PSR of 15.
I think you all are familiar w/ PSR : Permanent Speed Restriction.
All that was my review.
Also, train starts full pack from Jammu tawi.
TTE does not leave a single person for ID Proofs.
This train may become a High Priority Train now. Would be great if it gets LHB Rakes.
