Andhra Pradesh Express/12724

Looks difficult, just 1/2 1AC coach is there

Chances are there.

45-55

agra ka platform itna chota hay

Bhai Sahab Platform Chota nhi hai Gadi kuch zyada phle hi ruk gyi :P

ohhhh!!!! :)

Yes. It will confirm. Go ahead.

no extra ..

This Train is run and maintained by SCR . NR Cant add extra Coaches. NR responsibility is only to just Clean the Train only

24 is max no ..

Yes in current budget expected AC express between SC-NDLS . But not got placed in Final Budget List

ksk is running with 25 coaches tada

Why ca't club the entire railway under single zone?. Some trains are running empty some are hevy wl. Extra Coaches attach and detach according to train's wl situation can be done at every coach care center if entire railway is under single zone.

Why cant we club all the classes in a school to a single class???

How goods are running with 40 to 60 coaches?.

FYI, the length of goods coach is not same as passenger coach...
In addition to that, care is taken for goods train so that it will not exceed current loop line length(at least)...

I am not asking to club all trains, just zones only. All colleges not required to club, just all colleges can be under single univercity.

Please try for double decker coaches.

That day is not far... We may see dbl dkr coaches for sl n ac..

length of 2 goods coaches is approximately equal to 1 passenger coach...
Therefore, 25 passenger coaches is equal to 50 goods coaches...
Goods coaches with goods in it is so many times heavier than passenger coaches and are small in length...

do goods trains require platform ??

Must needed to store in godown(goodshed yard)

Great info thnx

They directly goes to the goodshed yard but in between the route in big stations these trains doesn't stands no platform, they stands on the third line...but in small halts to overtake non-stop passenger trains, they mostly stands on platforms....
Their are platforms in good shed yard but not same as big stations platforms...

how reduce ??

I think The AP samparkranthi express from SC to NZM reaches in 24hr. The Departure time of AP express is good and currently AP express reaches NDLS in 26hr 40min. If suppose the journey is reduced to 24hr then it must reach before ahead of GT and tamilnadhu express to NDLS

How would the pantry staff get into a jampacked general coach?

Nope... it's for whole train.. if pantry staff fails to turn up in general compartment.. you can give a written complaint,in the book available with pantry manager

general comparment arent connected via vestibule..

Yeah, this is also one reason.

By their contract agreement.. service is to be provided even in general coach... since food is served in disposable containers.. the same can be distributed when train stops

Agree. But all this remains on paper. No one from the pantry staff cares to do so.

I noticed This Train Quite often. The pantry car Staff Dont travel in General coaches For Quite long time. In Karantaka samparkranthi express a pantry service boy will Travel in general Coaches and Sell Snack items and During Breakfast (OR) Lunch item he ask each member and note list of items required and make a call to pantry car cooking Staff So That they arrange food for this members and serve which is not found in AP express . Just in AP express the Train will be slowed before arriving to the major Stations then the pantry service boys get into general Coaches and get down from General Coaches at major stations before depart from train from major stations

Your argument is wrong . i have buy food packets from catering( pantry van ) staff at general coach so many times and from so-many trains .

Yes. I too have never seen pantry staff in General class. Fate of IR.

#facepalm!!! There is nothing new!! Continuous 110kph without any cautions, tsr can help!!

What are the other feathers?

here's the pic...

many times tn also remain fastest btween ngpto et eventhough it lost 15min for bunkers

AP broken its own record covering nagpur - bhopal in 5 hrs 17 min...

LOL :P
you still believe that TE provides cent percent correct information? check this /blog/post/580151

ya...agree...not cent % but its reliable to some extent ...and also it is the only source...:-)

using gps is the best way to track trains...dont know when IR use this technology...Even gps shows min's difference...:-)

:-/ Can't say anything more!!
There is a lots to learn for new rail-fans!!

Great...

thank you bro...:-)

Thak gaya yaar roz roz record bante dekh ke,.... :) :)

yes i agree wid u....
TE doesnot provide cent percent correct information....
once i was waiting for 12060 kota jan shatabdi at kota junction for receving my relatives,TE was showing that train will arrive on time but actually the train arrived kota jn two hours late....

bro don't take this serious-if you don't believe TE why you posted a blog using TE as source...
/blog/post/441219

dont take this serious...can you tell me the source of this run you shared...
//blog/post/516532

i didn't get answer from you...!...If you don't believe TE why you posted some blogs ( /blog/post/441219 ) using TE as source...

He is old rail fan and only believes what he thinks and wont take care what others think. Raam that's correct naa

AP Express covered Bhopal - Bina ( 138 kms ) in 1 hr 25 min with an average of 97.4 KMPH...
That day AP recovered 48 min of its lost time between Nagpur - Bhopal...

That's wonder full run by king of super fast exp

yes bro...Once it covered Jhansi - Nagpur in 9 hrs 06 min...:-)

Wow!!! A genuinely superfast train like AP can display the same aggression again and again :D

yes...Thank you...:-)

The speed of AP Express should be increased as soon as it gets LHBs and WAP7. Unlike TN, AP has too much of slack time.

sirji 48min. regain karti he to king kahte ho agar 63 min. early chalegi tb kya bologe?
plz reffer gallary of TN

Yes...slack time should be reduced...

bro...please refer to this run where it recoverd 85+ min of its lost time between Bhopal and Hyderabad Deccan...

i also saw t.n exp is running 1 hr before timegukgjk

TN

Here they allowed 12723 AP Express to overtake 12953 August Kranthi Rajdhani at Mathura...
AK Rajdhani followed AP till Nizamuddin...

Fog could be the reason. Thanks.

but rajdhani reache d earlier

no bro...AP arrived earlier than AK Raj at Nizamuddin...
AP arrived at 11:53 a.m...
AK Raj at 12:00 a.m...

But both arrived at a gap of 5 min at Mathura...
Why cant they allow Rajdhani...
And also AK Raj less delayed than AP Exp...

any video??

no...

great!!

Thank you...

If you dont mind kindly go through this link...
click here

i'm not logged in so I can't see

ok...fine...

Foy you i edited and attaching the pic...
This shows how/on which basis does they gives priority to trains...
They allowed 12723 AP Express to overtake 12259 Sealdah - New Delhi Duronto at sivaji bridge...
Dont know how they operate trains...

FYI I too dont support these overtakes as Rajdhani/ Shatabdi/ Duronto are Premeier Trains of India...

there must be scarcity of pf at NDLS and moreover, there are multiple approach lines to NDLS from Shivaji Bridge/Tilak Bridge hence trains can run parallel too. If one train is allowed to move then its not called overtaking in practical sense.

FYI, few days back same AP Exp was overtaken by Delhi-Palwal EMU

I dont know whether its pf shortage/ parallel etc bro...I just shared what was shared in IRFCA...

are you talking about this video...?
click here

Great!!

Delhi palwal EMU, Please Stop This is a Long Distance train and its a small EMU and it runs on the third track, may be it can overtake for some seconds difference and after that it would have been crushed by WAP7 led by AP like we crush the Mineral water bottles

sir why u write it so simple it should write like
--
*** ANOTHER FEATHER IN AP EXPRESS CAP ***
----------------------
few days back same AP Exp was overtaken by Delhi-Palwal EMU
slower than DMU's & EMUs on this section...

Ok bro...
Then I can show you the videos of EMU overtaking Rajdhani/ Shatabdi/ Duronto/ and Superfast trains...
So do you say that they are slower than EMU's on that sections...?

And also I got a reply that " there are multiple approach lines to NDLS. hence trains can run parallel too. If one train is allowed to move then its not called overtaking in practical sense."
The same theory applies in AP Express case too...

In just 5 hours 20 minutes great.

Yes...thank you bro...:-)

bt sir whn AP can become Faster than Rajdhani's & Superfasts on ''this section.'' by covring BPL-JHS in 5hr20min( acording to TE which i dnt belive 100%corrct) thn why nt its slower than DMU's & EMUs "on this section." by using ur same logic only ?
