100- 110 MPS doesn't matter if enough priority is given. What matters is Passenger Capability and Priority by Zone of Route. Look at Madurai Tejas Express, it does 79 Average on a total 110 MPS route. More than even this Vande Bharat Express and more than Kalka Shatabdi and Amritsar Shatabdi having 130 MPS.
Most routes with High Passenger Potential are still not 130 MPS.
I compared it with ECR as ECR has given blanket 130 MPS to all LHB trains in DNR Division and DHN Division same trains still have average in...
more... range of 45-49. 130 MPS isn't a guarantee of Speed if Zone is lethargic.
Even Katra Vande Bharat has restricted speed in Katra Jammu Sector and 110 MPS till Ludhiana. Still has incredible time difference when compared with other trains on the route.
110 MPS isn't really a Strict Impediment to introduction of Vande Bharat if Zones give proper Priority to trains.
please wait...Translate to EnglishSpeed doesn't matter as long as they prioritize Passenger Capacity and Zone of Route. For example, Madurai Tejas Express only goes 79 mph on a route that allows 110 mph, but it has more priority than even Vande Bharat Express, Kalka Shatabdi, and Amritsar Shatabdi, that can go up to 130 mph.
Most high-traffic routes are not capable of reaching 130 mph. In comparison, trains in the DNR and DHN Divisions of ECR are given 130 mph but only average around 45-49 mph. 130 mph doesn't guarantee speed if the Zone isn't efficient.
Even the Katra Vande Bharat Express has speed limits in certain sectors, but it still beats other trains on the route. 110 mph isn't a strict obstacle to Vande Bharat's introduction if Zones prioritize them properly.
