@ moderator : i think this is the fastest train in india as per average speed. for the calculations of average speed the train stoppage times are deducted from the total journey time. however for duronto the time lost at technical stops is not deducted and hence the average speed calculation is incorrect. i think the avg speed of this train is much higher than 89+. it myt also beat the bhopal shatabdi in terms of avg speed, not max speed. imagine what would have been the speed of this train if it had started from howrah instead of sealdah (sealdah to dankuni is a slow speed restricted section)

You are right. The matter is largely responded / discussed in blog entry # 18439. Once necessary details are collected, suitable changes will be made by the site moderator for information on technical stops and the true calculation of the train avg. moving speed.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
