There's practically no difference between a passenger and a Shatabdi while travelling from MURI to ASN. Even 63597 is faster than 12020, what a shame! A big flop between RNC-DHN. 63597 most of the time has early arrival at ASN. While in return 63596 is faster than 12019, again a setback. The MEMU route is although faster and shorter by 46 km, there are lots of slacks and halts at every intermediate station. 63597 always gets brutally overtaken by several express trains between PRR-ASN, still manages to be on time. If slacks are reduced, trains will take max. 2hrs 30 mins to cover the distance.
What's the reason of paying such elite dynamic fare for travelling between MURI-ASN? Just for a little...
more... comfort, having food and AC?
Unique in IR!
