(LTT)-Hazrat Nizamuddin air-
conditioned (AC) weekly express, from
tomorrow. Currently, Punjab Mail is the
only Delhi-bound train on the CR route.
It makes the 1,544-km journey in 26
hours and halts at 56 stations, Manthan K
Mehta reported in The Times of India.
"The train on CR network will be useful
as many travellers residing in Thane and
Navi Mumbai find it difficult to reach
Mumbai Central to board a train for
Delhi. The frequency of the service can
be increased depending on factors like
demand, availability of path and coaches,"
said a CR official.
Western Railway (WR) runs 14 trains per
day for Delhi, including Duronto Express,
Garib Rath Express, Rajdhani Express and
August Kranti Rajdhani. The distance
between Mumbai Central and New Delhi via
Surat and Vadodara is 1,384 kms. A
Rajdhani or August Kranti Rajdhani takes
almost 16 hours to reach the national
capital.
