Re# 471846-22                  
NDLS - TKD = 130 KMPH
TKD - AGC = 150 KMPH
AGC - LAR = 130 KMPH

The whole stretch between NDLS - BPL might have been designed for 160 KMPH but a train cannot do more than what has been put up above or in short cannot do more than the MPS.
Just for info i have learned that CNB-NDLS is designed for 160 KMPH operations but...

none of the trains is doing greater than 130 KMPH in this section.
